My Techno Journey
I started this master’s course with very little if none or any skills related to using technology. Even as I type, I am a two fingered typist so writing takes time for me. One of the cohorts showed me how to download a typing program which I eagerly did. Now I forgot where I downloaded to…mmm, I think I put it in my e-mail. Anyways, my plan is to teach myself how to type. Any problems that I encounter in my life, this is how I approach them. I would rather be in the solution than stay in the problem. I am much happier and more satisfied with myself when I apply that philosophy.
With that, here are my other limitations.
I do not surf the internet because that technology is foreign to me. I do check my e-mail at work and can respond to people generally. However, I am very technologically challenged.
My journey began with getting into cyberspace which I mistakenly called hyperspace. Hyperspace apparently is where star trek and star wars takes place. Learning the technology and the names is a big part of my journey. The other thing I should mention is that I am having fun with all this and my fear of breaking something isn’t so prevalent any more.

Don't you think hyperspace would be just as disorienting though? I personally could never figure out the way they kept track of time/date as in "Captain's Log, 481967" or how they measured geographic location by some sort of quadrant longitude/latitude on Star Trek. I like that I can look at the address bar on the web, and know where I am, and the clock at the bottom of the screen reminds me how much time I have wasted looking at different website.
Nora and Chad,
this is star date....just kidding.
Cyberspace, hyperspace, inner space...it seems to me it should take up some space anyways yet it doesn't...mmmm. I might have to go fasting to figure out the riddle to that one.
GPS...I want one of those when I grow up...question now is if I grow up? Looking forward to your icefishing story.
