Computers!!!!!

Computers....they are everywhere....
I remember when I was in about 4th grade (the early 80's), what computers use to look like. They were big and bulky and the color of the words came out in white while the screen was green. Now a days computers are almost the size of a 1" binder. Thats crazy! Its amazing what computers can do, what you find, and who you can find. Imagine if we still had to type papers on a typewriter? How uncivilized. No matter how much I think I know computers there is always something else for me to learn. This is going to be a great class cause not only do you learn about education and technology but it it also good because what we learn can also be great for a resume. I have learned through experience that the more computer exerience one has the better chance they have at getting a great job. Not only are the programs fun to learn but there are also so many good sites on the web for games, travel, music ect. My 3yr old son just recently discovered the computer and he loves it. Everytime he sees someone on it all he wants to do is play with it. So of course I give in and we begin playing games, watching video clips of his favorite cartoons, and learning his letters, numbers and colors. I guarantee you in a few short years he will be telling me how to use the computer. I enjoy using the computer for emailing, looking up stuff, and finding friends I haven't spoken to in a while. I also use it to keep in touch with my family. I also enjoy sending pictures to friends and family since you don't waste a stamp but I guess on the flip side you waste power. Never a win win situation.
