| Taking a Quality Computing Course is Really, Really Smart |
|
|
There is absolutely no denying that computers are at the
cornerstone of modern cay society. With this in mind I believe that
everyone, and by that I mean every man, woman and child on this planet,
should take advantage of a up to date computing course.
Computers are literally a fabric of
our lives. We can't operate without them. It's simply one of those
imperatives in life these days. Some things are just unavoidable. I
laugh at my mother because she never took a computing course in her
life. She really does need to take advantage of computer education.
But alas, she has no interest in it. She's a retired teacher so I explain the uses of computer in education field, but she remains unmoved. I try and try to explain to her how much easier they make life. I tell her how she could switch to simple online banking; how she could do all her shopping on the web, and how she could even order her groceries and have them delivered where she lives.
But, she still refuses to buy a basic desktop computer and take a simple computing course. Heck, I would even teach her all she needs to know if she would get a stinking computer. Some folks have trouble evolving.
When was the last time you took a computing course? I have to say that it was in 2000 for me. I took two back to back computer courses in order to learn all the basics of hardware and software, and of course a little more. This was very beneficial in my opinion. I learned a ton from these two general computing courses.
Computer news education is also an excellent resource as well. Not to mention that I made several new friends. This is always a fun aspect of taking classes. The sad thing is when I went into my computer courses, I was totally PC and Mac ignorant.
I mean I couldn't even tell you what a USB port was. I urge you to take advantage of computer education. You'll be so glad that you did. These days I surf the web and take full advantage of new-age software with confidence. It's a blast when you know what you're doing.
Here's a quick test for you. What is an IP address? Now, if you don't know this one, then you probably need a computing course. An IP address is very basic stuff. If you're using dial-up, then you're assigned an IP address every time you log on.
However, if you are using a cable connection that's always online, then you have a permanent IP address. It's a number that identifies your particular computer. So everywhere you go in cyberspace is tracked with this number.
Are you up for an online computing course? Ha, I know this sounds completely bizarre, but it's not made-up. You can actually take a contemporary computing course on your own personal computer. Hop online and check out the possibilities. |
