The computer world can be so very confusing at times. I just got off the phone with my sister and she told me that she wants very much to get a laptop for Christmas, and so I called my mom and told her that she wants a laptop or a notebook for Christmas with a lcd screen. My mother said that she will pay for it, but since she knows nothing about it, could I find one for her and let her know how much.

Mom is a little bit technology challenged, but it is really not her fault. I mean computers just came onto the scene a few years ago and already they have changed and developed so much it is hard to keep up with it all. Honestly, I would consider myself to only have a cursory knowledge of the field myself, yet I can do a lot more on my computer than most people can, and I have been able to show a lot of people what to do and how to do different things online. There is so much great information out here on the web, and accessing all of it becomes easier and easier each day. With great search engines and lots of different links, you can just click, click, click and have so much information right there on your computer screen in seconds, it is astounding. The one thing I guess that I hope for in the future is that computers start making some of these reference type books obsolete. The one item that I really feel needs to be made obsolete is the phone book. I receive about 5 a year, from different companies and I have only one home phone. These phone books are wasteful, as no one needs more than one phone book per year. On top of this, with all this information available on the web, there is really no need for them at all. Once they are printed, the trees are already gone and the waste is already created, whether or not we actually take them, for the most part they will wind up in the landfill, and this is just a shame.

Using the internet is an eco-friendly way to get all the information you need and still save the planet, it is truly amazing.
