Can Use The Gadget Or Not?

an old posting actually.

Yes, it is about us being able to use the technology. At one time, being able to use computer used to be something to shout. Those were the days where we had to use a 'special' diskettee to enable the use of Word. DOS or something they called it. I remember I was so terrified whenever by accident I pressed the wrong button.. don't know how to undo.

Things really have changed.My daughter asked me to get a picture of something on the net, that was actually the advice given by her teacher or Muallimah (as the title goes at her school). There you are, few transactions and the gambar appeared already maa..so easy. Though, most of the time they chose to play games, like any other normal kids.

We even attempted or suggested for our kids to have their own blogs (not sure can register or not being minor).

So, my youngest (approaching one year old) has already been 'exposed' to the use of this machine. He is at the stage of pulling the wires here and there, you can image.

My hope: at the speed of a button, we can cross the world
