Literacy and the computer machine...
So...Just this week I signed up for Face Book and reconnected with some of my old school chums. It was the biggest triumph so far of this 'computer literacy' class I'm taking at school. Along with learning that I have been left out of the information loop of friends and family, I realized that the computer is just a machine. And, I am good with machines. When I know how they are supposed to work, I can use them and I can fix them. My expectation is that as I learn more about how computers work, I will soon become much more time efficient with my school projects and essays. My biggest challenge remains understanding how to fix a problem when one occurs. When there is a problem now, I push the panic button and speed dial my daughter's phone.

Facebook is a wonderful site to connect both verbally and photographically. It is my favorite as I have children and grandchildren that are a great distance away therefore being able to talk with them instantly and view pictures of them. Machines have not been one of my strong points as I have always feared that an error would occur that I could not remove, fix, or correct. I was intimated by them for many years. I guess I am from the dark side!!
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, you sound like you can fix anything and welcome the challenge. I also have a panic button with my brother in Kentucky or my son in Oahu. You have your daughter.
