When I was an undergraduate, there was a time that I had to create some web pages. In my memory, at that time, it was almost like mission impossible to me. I remember I used front page, but had no idea how it worked because my teacher didn't give explicit instructions. So at last, I found someone else to do that for me.
But this time, I have successfully created a web page all by myself! Maybe my passion arises because this page is about me, which seems to be interesting. And the new design of share point makes it more easier to be used. Most importantly, the instructions of the professor are very explicit and easy to follow. So I completely know what I am doing now or what I have to do next.
I am very happy that I have finally created a web page I like a lot and others like, too.
The first time I had in contact with a computer was in college 32 years ago and it used card stock for each coding and I hated it. The second time I was in contact with the computer was 15 years ago and still hated it. 10 years ago, I had to learn to use the computer because I decided to return to school and continue hating it. Now, it is mandatory to be familiarized with the computer to accomplish tasks in the school. The computer is no longer my enemy, it's part of my daily routine for my work, class, and entertainment. I am still learning about different applications but go on to a selective You Tube will help me learn and understand the applications I needed for specific task. The most important thing is following the direction and "PRACTICE" even you will forget again and again and again... just like how I was 10 years ago but now, I am pretty good :)
ReplyDeleteHah..You are totally right. But in China computers were introduced just less than 20 years ago. At that time, there used to be a computer in my home, and it worked slowly like hell. And the first time it was able to be connected to the internet, it costed several minutes to be connected. Looking back on that history, I really think the improvement is fast, and nowadays it seems that most people become accessible to computers in various ways and the simple operations make even the old fashioned ones, like my mom, able to work on computers.
