Hello Everyone
How are you, my Hive family?
I hope all my fellows would be buzzing 🐝around happily collecting the nectar from their lives and preparing the honey from it here on hive.
Today I am here to introduce myself. No, not as a newbie to Hive but as per the requirement of the latest Dreemport Contest. Who Am I? I am Amber Kashif. I was not Amber Kashif always. It was a signature that made me so. A signature that has the power to turn things upside down in our lives. It is a signature that may even take you to a new world on earth and you would realize that you were just an ignorant little kid on earth and there is a lot to understand about on this earth. What signature am I talking about? Don’t you know? I am talking about the signature on the wedding papers. Hehe. This signature has the power to turn a goat like woman into a buffalo 🐃. Haven’t you seen women becoming fat after marriage due to hormonal and other issues !!!😲..... Naaaah! No! Try not to ask me if marriage has done this wonder to me. You may not survive my horns.
Well, where was I? I was introducing myself. During my one year journey on Hive I have written about various aspects of my life. Today, I will tell about something that I haven’t spoken about before and that is what scares me. You might not believe. People around me don’t believe it and think that I am lying 🤥. It is not their fault. It is difficult to believe as I appear so smart and knowledgeable. They are deceived by my appearance 😇.
Today, let me break that image of mine and let people know that how much I am afraid of technology. Not technology in general but that is related to computers, mobiles and IT. You might not believe me. I know, it is not your fault 😉
Let me make you believe by telling an incident that happened to me
It is the story of the days when I studied in university. I used to travel by university points (buses). Sometimes, when I reached earlier on the points’ terminal, I would reserve a seat for my friend as well. One day I reached earlier, I didn’t know if she would come or not. I made a call to her but I was short of balance. An old fellow of college was also there in the bus. I asked her to make a call to my friend. She took her mobile out, entered the password and gave that to me. It scared me. Why......? It was a smart phone, while I had a feature phone and I had never handled a smart phone. I had no idea how I would dial a number.
Anyways, I took the mobile and went back to my seat. I dialled the number and then it collapsed. I gave another try but of no use. Then I was back to home screen a d I didn’t know how to reach to the app from where I could dial the number. Thanking her for the favor, I returned the mobile back to my fellow. Looking at her mobile, she asked me if I had not made the call. It was so embarrassing to reveal the fact that I didn’t know how to use the smart phone 🙈. At that time, I felt like hiding myself somewhere where she couldn’t see me.
I controlled my feeling and replied her that I reminded that my friend had a class at this time. .... Oh My! How scary this technology has been to me since always..
I am afraid to use any new apps but I keep on looking at them keenly. I do know something like them exist but when it comes to using them, I feel like it is not something made for me; or I am not made for it. I feel like I may never be able to use it. The fear keeps me retained in my comfort zone.
I am still reluctant to use new apps, but there came someone in my life some two years ago whose calls make me take the challenge. She is 
It is because of her initiatives, contest, games and challenges that I come out of my comfort zone and step ahead to learn the new apps. It has done wonders. It is because of her that I learned to use canva, bitmoji, giphy and viva video. When I started using canva frequently, I was amazed to see the response of people. They asked me if I was a graphic designer. I never saw this coming. Amazing......😮
So, the fact is that every time Dreems calls for the use of some app or technology, it becomes easier for me. Just take the recent example. I knew that Ecency gives points for using the front-end, but I never stepped out to use it (because of my general fear about using new technology) until 
Now I am eager to earn more points, and vote like a whale. Want to know how you can vote like a whale using ecency?? Visit this post of Dreemsteem. Want to earn ecency points and dreem token simultaneously??? Join us in the fun with Dreemport Challenge.
