I can't believe it but I have been into technology and the Internet for eleven years now. That's since the beginning of the Internet around 94 or 96 for the public. I remember Geo before AOL and what about the overly priced Compuserve. Well I was just thinking about the number of people I run into daily that use computers and the Internet rarely or not at all.
Add to this the number of people who only use computers on there jobs and not for personal use.and you come up with a amazing fact people resist change, and to this day they are still reluctant to embrace things they know little about. Even when we know that the only way we grow is by increasing what we know.
I ran across this story tonight on ABC Nightline Talking Apes . I was amazed at what these creatures could understand. I wondered why it was easier for some of these Apes to learn to talk than it is to get some people to sit down in front of a computer, or discover the Internet.
As I watched I noticed that the Apes had been trained by a reward system. When people begin to understand the many benefits of the Internet and how it can help them, maybe they will learn just like the Apes learned to talk.
Looks great! What's this all about. I am really proud of the fact that you finally put some of your poems in print.
Peace
