“I don’t know what streaming is. I don’t understand how it works. … I can barely use the things in my house,” Handler said - possibly as a joke - at the Television Critics Association press tour today, reports CNN. “Is (technology) making our lives easier or harder?”

We will likely see how Handler learns about technology, since technology was listed as a topic for her documentary film series Chelsea Does. The series will be made up of four films directed by Eddie Schmidt.

While working on the technology documentary, she couldn’t even pronounce Silicon Valley correctly. “I was calling it Silicone Valley. They said, ‘You’re saying it wrong,’” Handler said.

Hendler left E! and announced in June 2014 that she signed a deal with Netflix. The comedian was not quiet about how much she was looking forward to joining the streaming service, even bashing her previous show, Chelsea Lately.

“I had to get my brain working again," she said about joining Netflix, notes Entertainment Tonight. She said that her negative comments about E! were truly how she felt.

“I was just done with that [time in my career],” she said. “I don’t think that anyone else needs to hear me bitch about E! any more, but I'm very happy with where I am now.”

Next year, Handler’s Netflix talk show will finally debut, but it won’t be anything like Chelsea Lately. TheWrap notes that she was clear that she will not be doing a nightly show.

“I want to do another show that will be on several times a week or a few times a week,” she said.
