Well, I'm going to talk about a piece of technology that I found challenging to use, and that is a laser printer. I got it a few weeks ago. I specifically got it for printing out materials before I submit them. For example, there are some assignments that I have to proofread before submitting to get a higher score. So that's the reason why I bought this kind of machine. However, to be honest, I have to admit that it was quite challenging at first when I was getting familiar with it. I mean, it is a wireless printer, so I had to go through a couple of steps to connect it wirelessly to my MacBook and every other gadget that I have at hand. It was really difficult for me to set up the machine and figure out which buttons to push and what kind of password to enter. It was really difficult for me. I also looked for, or searched for, some tutorials and videos to help me, but it really took me a while to get used to it and get the hang of it. To be honest, I use it quite frequently. I mean, I use it on a regular basis since I need to print a lot of materials every day. So I find it quite useful at this time, and I'm getting used to it. The more I use it, the more comfortable I feel having this kind of machine. It's totally a different experience from the very first time when I got it. Right now, I feel quite comfortable with this machine, and I think that it was worth the investment.
