This is a question The Onosecond

Wired magazine once defined the 'onosecond' as the time between hitting 'send' and realising that you really didn't mean to send that to your granny.

What inappropriate email/text/photo have you sent to wrong people? Are they speaking to you any more?

I'm a complete Luddite
I don't know how to text, download, open files, and so on. ( I can memorize complicated treatment algorithms for hypoglycemia, whole tables of theraputic levels of drugs, hundreds of birthdates, dozens of genetic disorders but can't remember what a server is. I'm pathetic)

I finally figured out how to post and retrieve email. I didn't realize my phone kept voice mail until someone complained my box was full. "Box? What box?"

Knowing this full well, I still failed to pay attention and when trying to record a 'leave-a-VM' message, I shouted, "I command you to speak, thou peon!". On my work phone. For Hospice. Where my dying patients leave me urgent messages. Which I wasn't picking up since I didn't know the service existed. The CEO herself called to investigate. And bitched me out royally.

I'm a complete Luddite and there's no hope for me.
