My Technological Background

Well. This is exciting. My first blog and my first blog entry.

I don't know what to say. I'm definitely not technologically savvy. But I'm not an idiot either. My first experience with computers was probably when I was in 9th grade and I had to take a keyboarding class. I think shortly thereafter my family got a computer. I'm probably older than most of my peers in this class so that was probably when you were all still in elementary school. I don't think my family is that far behind the rest of the world. =)

I've never really taken any computer classes or anything. So I'm actually really excited for this class because there's a lot I need to learn. I took the online section because I can read and follow directions and because I can probably figure this out as I just do it and get used to it. I figured out Facebook and email and the internet on my own so I'm sure I can figure out blogging and all that other good stuff too. That's my background. Just playing around with different applications. I know the basics of Word and PowerPoint and Excel and I can do a search on the internet and send attachments in email and play on Facebook. The rest I'll just need to be exposed to. So here I go.
