KCB201 Blogs

So I visited a few of my classmates’ blogs today… WOW! We have some really talented and switched on people in this unit. I kind of feel like my blog’s juvenile and inadequate in comparison.

Maybe instead of playing dress-up with my sisters as a child I should have been playing computer games. Or perhaps instead of reading books I should have read online journals and blogs.

The reality is I didn’t get the Internet in my house until I was halfway through highschool. On top of that, I only upgraded to broadband from dial-up a couple of months ago. As you can see I’m a little behind the times when it comes to technology.

For me this subject has really highlighted the fact that my techno-literacy levels are equivalent to those of a person twice my age. By that I mean, pretty poor. What’s worse is that I know people twice my age who have more computer knowledge then me!

I guess the purpose of this self-indulgent pity entry is to justify why my blog is so woeful. Despite my lack of technical know-how I hope people are still getting something out of my blog. It may not be pretty but as my mum always said, “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. Enjoy.

Yes but how many people with computer abilities have an intimate knowledge of the Eurovision Contest.

We all have our talents, dont feel disheartened.

And an intimate knowledge of Ukraine hip-hop.

I think you're blog's pretty Aisling! In fact, I wanted to use this template, but saw yours already had it. Tonight I tried to adapt my template myself and 'personalize' my settings and I ended up losing all my template edits (ie all the links/profiles/settings) and spent an hour trying to redo it all! So, moral of the story is: technologically-retarded blogs are cool.

haha Thanks Jess! Maybe we can make techno-illiteracy cool... hang on, isn't it already cool?

As for the Ukrainian hip-hop... I'm not going to try deny that. "Razom Nas Bagato" is catchy!
