My relationship with technology

January 31, 2007

I am somewhere in between a computer geek and a regular user.  I understand most of the basics of internet and computer use but frequently have to look up things like alt codes and I know how to apply html code but don’t know any off the top of my head.  I am comfortable finding and using open source software but am not competent enough to edit or contribute to it.  I’ve been using computers since elementary school, both in and out of the classroom.  I have used macs and PCs but am more comfortable on a PC and though I don’t care much for microsoft I don’t have the skills to use any other platform efficiently.  Blackboard, projectors, powerpoint, and VCRs are about all the technology I’ve had in the class room, with the occasional laser disc.
