Notebook Computers in the Age of the Internet
Everyone knows that our world cannot exist without computers. Ever tried
to make a purchase at a convenience store when their computers are down,
ever waited for someone to make change when their register computer is
down, or have you ever tried to find a book in a library when the system
is down? If you have ever experienced one of these inconveniences, you
know that our world hinges on whether or not our computers are working.
Remember when you told your teacher that the dog ate your homework? Did
she believe you? Probably not. Now the excuse is my computer crashed, my
printer wouldn't print, or we were out of ink. Even kids rely on
computers to do their schoolwork. The days of pen and pencils are almost
over. In fact most students know more about computers than their
teachers or parents. They don't even remember a time without computers.
As computers become more and more intuitive and powerful, we must
proceed with them. If you are still among the population that resents
the encroachment of the computer, think about this scenario. If Eve in
the Garden of Eden had access to the Internet, she could have looked up
information about snakes. She would have found out that they have forked
tongues and an evil reputation. Instead of listening to the snake's
lies, she would have thrashed him with a tree branch. Think how much
better our world would be now.
The best present any graduate can get this June is a desktop computer or
a laptop. In my day, girls were given matching luggage to take their
clothes to school. Yes, I know I am dating myself, but I do have a
point. Today buy your child a computer and let them take their clothes
is a paper sack. They don't care; an old gym bag will do. I know;
schools have computer labs, but they are always full. Wouldn't you
rather your son or particularly your daughter not be out of the dorm or
apartment working on projects or papers? Also, when your newly graduated
senior has moved away to school, e-mail will become your best friend.
Even if you hate computers, you will learn to love them because they
will become your link to your child. The nest will never be empty as
long as you have e-mail.
Computers are links to the outside world. The world has never been more
accessible or smaller. You have to keep up or you will be left behind
and who wants to be the last straggler on the planet? Not me!
