In my quest for the proper visual essay I am learning how computer illiterate I really am. I am used to just typing a paper and dabbling on the internet and that's it. This essay has definitely proved to be a challenge to me. I am getting there with it, but things are moving into places that I have no control over! I was thinking about my children and the changing times with their homework assignments. They won't have these problems because they are already being assigned homework on the computer in the 4th grade. It's amazing that they don't need my help to make a word search for their spelling words. It's blowing me away that by the time they are in the 6th or 7th grade they will be able to do powerpoint presentations and old as dirt and ready to toss my computer out of the window.
Well, I'm definitely learning something, but it's really hard.

You're right. I always thought I was pretty computer savvy. I've always worked in an office of some sort. I know the cut, copy, and paste functions of Word. I can even play with the text a little. This essay is just blowing my mind. You think you're finished with a page, and then the picture disappears. This is definately proving to be an interesting challenge for me.
I certainly feel your pain. I really thought I was a lot more computer savvy than it turns out I am. I guess that intro to programming class I took in college wasn't all I thought it was. The midterm assignment has definately been a challege for me.
