I don't have much formal technology experience and I have never been taught how to use technology. Most everything I do with technology I have taught myself. I'm pretty much on my laptop all the time because you can do everything on it- check the weather, buy new furniture, sell old stuff, email old friends, add pictures on your facebook, get new recipes, etc. If i ever want to use technology in a way I haven't before, I either google how or mess around with it until I get it. I can do programs like Excell, Powerpoint, Microsoft, and Limewire pretty well, but I've never used programs to make movies or anything hardcore like that. My family thinks I'm good with technology but that's just because they're amazed at how I can burn cds (its really not hard at all). I really like technology and trying to fix things that go wrong with it, especially with computers.
my family is the same way, but really they are all just clueless, im not advanced at all.
ReplyDeletesounds like you have a good foundation for starting this class. hopefully you will enjoy all of the things we do in the class!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you're willing to make the effort to learn how to do new things on computers. Personally, I find myself very grateful for the "Help" buttons the programs have!
