Well, I would like to talk about a piece of technology that I find challenging to use. To begin with, I would say the technologies I find really challenging are the products of Apple, like Mac and iPhone. I don't usually have any problems with any other kind of phones and some Windows computers. However, you see, there are a lot of buttons and functions that I don't understand in the products of Apple. That's why I find it problematic. Well, if I think about the first time I used it, it was several years ago. And when I used it for the first time, I was shocked. Because it wasn't really like the phones I've used, and I couldn't use it properly. And there was a little bit funny thing happened there, like I somehow blocked the phone of my friend because I didn't understand it really well. And you see, there are many kinds of functions and other things it has, because you can do many things at the click of a button in the phone. And I think the camera quality is better than other phones. However, if you can't use it, you know, there is no point. If you can't use the potential, it will be wasted. And I usually dealt with these kinds of problems. So it wasn't really hard for me to handle it. I learned from YouTube and people I know. And it was, I really used it.
