Something new every day...

Just yesterday I had downloaded a virus protection software to my home computer, only to find out that with it, my Internet did not work. I tried to fix it to the best of my knowledge and nothing was happening. I, then, had a "computer whiz" come over to help me! After all was said and done... because the antivirus was present and it looked to my Internet as potentially dangerous, nothing could be done. I was forced to uninstall it and put another software on there and the Internet magically worked again.
The moral of the story is.... I learned something about the safety and security that has emerged as a result of the advances in the web and other technologies. Computers are very picky when considering what they will and will not let you do nowadays! Is that a good or bad thing? That's the pickle.

Am I going to be successful....?

There are two things that could be most difficult for me in doing this: seeing the end of the road and obtaining the confidence needed to get to the end of that road. The feeling I have right now is something of a comfortable numbness... I'm a fair crackerjack with technology, but am weary about blogging! I never knew what it was until Learn & Play started here at the library. As long as I have others by my side, though, the advances in play time will soon emerge!
