The amount of information people have now is intimidating to me. I tried for 2 weeks to figure out how to make a Wikipedia entry.
I got nowhere as each page of instruction has data on it referring to another page. Like, for instance, "page" would be a "link" that would "lead" to another bit of info etc.
I did learn terms like 'squidoo," actually I 've already forgotten what that means. I also learnt that terminology is virtually endless.
Skype, IM, Gh.o.st or however it is spelt, <<[*&!!@] to {<<2*] etc to parse this code into [><] from ...4[)<>?...} by means of.....whatever.....
Once upon a time I could watch a movie, read a book, go for a walk.
Now everyone except me it seems is born with computer knowledge.
When linking to youtube, some people here use a phrase, "like this" in blue for you to click on, if you follow what I mean. How does one do that? I don't even bother looking up on the internet how it is done as literally hours speed by as I try fathom it out.
Wah wah wah I know but still it is scary.
Can you imagine in the future how much knowledge kids will need to master?
As I walk by coffee shops and see people inside I wonder if they all "know stuff" that I would seriously need to sit down for a month to learn. Yikes.
