Leave it to a line from a Dr. Seuss book to inspire me! My quote of the week is "Oh the things you can find when you don't stay behind." from On Behind Zebra. Technology is what comes to my mind. I took three technology workshops last month in hopes of becoming more computer saavy! ha Actually, one of my dearest friends dragged me into the classes kicking and screaming. I guess I am not entering this technology century gracefully. I tried to think of 10 top reasons why I should NOT improve my technology skills.
1. I thought hyperlink meant an overactive connection.
2. My second graders already know more about computers than I do.
3. I spent 20 minutes trying to "google" at one workshop, only to find I had been
typing "goggle".
4. Why would anyone name a major part of a computer a "MOUSE"?
5. When did friending someone become a verb?
6. About the time I learn how to do something on the computer, it becomes outdated!
7. How does a computer know more about me than my best friend?
8. I don't know why you spell "log in" login? Where's the space?
9. Why would anyone want to save a draft. I thought a draft was only temporary!!
10. Who was the genius who came up with the computer tower? It must have been a very short person!
Oh, well my daughter Jennifer patiently helped me learn to blog. Here's to my best efforts...
