Well, it has been a busy day and has taken me all day to get through #5. I do love getting to learn about setting up my Google Reader and selecting interesting feeds. I know it will be very useful to have everything in one spot on the RSS. I am in hopes that I will have the time to play and get more creative with this website. It seems alot like having my own website with my frequent user websites bookmarked. I guess once it becomes second-hand I will be able to cruise from one site to another with ease.
It is so very interesting to me how far we have come since I was in school some 30++ years ago, when we used landline phones, snail mail, shorthand, calulators, and the old standard typewriters, oh and don't forget the carbon paper. WOW, I thought I was doing pretty good with the Apple, the Mac, on-line banking, etc. that has made my life and job so much more productive. Still waiting to feel comfortable tweeting and blogging. So, here comes thing #6.

It is something how far we have come technology-wise. My very first job back in high school, I researched accounts using microfiche and our whole department shared one computer. I typed using the carbon paper you mentioned but I did at least learn to type on an electric typewriter (with typing paper covering the keys so we couldn't look at where our fingers were)! So, as you can imagine, this class has been quite the culture shock for me! Good luck on the rest of the "things". Some of the ones coming up are fun.
ReplyDeleteHere's another technology advancement. When I was a first year librarian, we did inventory with catalog cards and put a paper clip on the card if a book was missing. This tedious procedure took about two weeks to do. Now we can inventory an elementary library in about a day using a wireless laptop and scanner!
ReplyDeleteYou do online banking! Well I am impressed. I haven't branched out that much yet, but I do wonder how I ever survived without my Blackberry. It is fun to think about the changes over the last 20-30 years!
