This has been my catch phrase for a long time. It still is and quite likely will stay that way for a while yet. I did not actually think that this one paper would change this too much, but it has. I understand a lot more of what the boys at home are talking about now. Before I just tuned out and stopped listening to what they were saying if they started using technological terms. (I stopped asking what these terms mean when they kept laughing at me for not knowing.) It is nice to understand now at least some of what they are talking about. It is even nicer when I can come up with a random piece of information that they did not know.

I doubt I will ever be great with computers or the digital world. It is nice to know that there is an option that I can use should I feel the urge for a more challenging text, a story that comes with a built-in puzzle. I much prefer the form of a book though. Mostly for its transportability and the lightness of it. I can read a book while lying on my back, for instance. And although I do enjoy using my little technological toys, like my iPod and the DS, the frustration I feel towards inanimate objects that do not do what I want them to (mostly because I have given the wrong command or pressed the wrong button) is never going to go away. And I will continue to ask the annoying questions that I always ask. Because I do not think I will ever catch up to the level of the computer friendly people around me, and I do not think I want to either.
