In this day and age....

It boggles my mind that in this day and age there are still people who don't know how to use a computer. I have a friend here who has one, but won't get connected to the internet because she is afraid of hackers and viruses. Even after explaining about virus protection programs she refuses to go online. When she needs to use a computer she will either go to the library or come here for help. One of the things she finds amazing is how quickly I can find things on the internet. She spent two hours the other day, at the library, trying to find the address for NBC. After she got frustrated at finding everything but the address she called and came over here. Within two minutes I found the information she needed. No, I'm not a computer whiz but I can find my way around google. Google is my friend. I'm not complaining because it is fun to help her and there is a price she must pay. While here she must to go gotpoetry.com and rate the slams as her payment for my services and use of the computer. And no, she doesn't always rate mine the highest but rates the poems as she sees them. She is part of my poetry group so her ratings are educated and thoughout. Maybe someday I'll convince her it's okay to go online and yes there are viruses but there aren't demons on every site looking to destroy her data on her computer. Oh, she does use her computer for word processing and to watch DVD's. Still...it does boggle my mind!
