In other news, I just came back from the national VUB conference and the latest buzz word is The Digital Divide. The term means that education is not keeping up with technology and neither are individuals. With technology improving as fast as it is, if you buy a computer today, it will be nearly obsolete in two years. Soon some businesses may expect you to explore these options before trying others. Many colleges are now requiring freshmen to own, purchase, or at least rent a computer to use in classes.
Some Universities even have web-based classes so students can study from a distance.
I said all of this to make a point, even if you are afraid of computers, NOW is the time to learn how to use them. Just about anyone can learn to use a computer. It is not like the old days when you had to learn a programming language to use a computer. Every day you delay is a week in computer time if you think about how fast they become obsolete. Monday and Wednesday afternoons and all day Fridays are open if you want to use the VUB computer lab.
