Computer Literate

I can use a computer! I really can! Maybe I don't know everything, but I can "upload" a photo to Scrapbook.com and I can do some neat things with my pictures, I even put that fancy header up for my blog title all by myself. I am proud!

You have to understand...when I went to high school, there were about fifteen computers for the whole school and that included the office. The computer class I took in grade ten taught the Binary Code. ( 10100010100010 ) To say I didn't learn much would be an understatement. In-fact, our teacher handed us some papers a couple of days before the exam at the end of the year and said "if you can answer these, you'll do fine". I got a 54%. I passed, but after that computers have always been a scary thing for me, until.......SCRAPBOOKING!!!

I now spend more time on this machine than doing laundry, cooking, watching T.V. or exercising. ( Well, let's be honest, I spend more time thinking about exercise than actually doing it. lol ) The point is ...it's not so scary anymore and I'm smarter than I thought.

Maybe I should apply at Google...I could use a job like that...and I did pass an exam on the Binary Code once!

Well, when I was in high school, we didn't have computers. We used these things called typewriters.
