When I was in fourth grade I was one of the first people to type a research paper instead of writing it by hand. However, I fear that it was at age 10 that I was on the cutting edge of technology and perhaps it was downhill from there. I thought I knew computers a little bit but I'm convinced I'll never quite master all this high tech stuff. I think that deep down I know that it's useful and helpful and we can't live life without it. Yet, it takes so much time and effort and frustration and then all the error messages appear telling me I have committed illegal operations. I have never done anything truly illegal (well, I jaywalk occasionally and do download music every once in a while) but other than that I can't recall anything that I have done that would be considered "illegal."

At least I can manage for the most part and put together a poster that looks presentable.

The one piece of technology that I would recommend everyone having are these memory cards/flash disk/thumbdrive type things that you can keep on your key chain, are indestrucible, and can store 125MB or more (that's equal to around 89 diskettes!!!!), and just plug into a USB port. Here is some information about it: flash disk.

Bottomline: I like technology. Just not sure if it quite likes me back :-).
