This week has been fairly hectic for me. Right now, in fact, I'm visiting my grandmother in Johnstown (in beautiful Cambria County!), so I had to duck into her bedroom quickly to use her computer before she spends her usual two or three hours entering online contests.
It's amazing that senior citizens can learn to use the latest technology. My grandmother is 84 years old, but she manuevers through webpages like a pro. I definitely believe that all libraries (with enough resources, of course), should have computer classes for senior citizens during the week. At the very least, there should be one course every week that introduces new patrons to the library's online catalog and how to perform simple searches.
I'll be working on this class's latest assignment tomorrow, when I return home. I spent Thursday night and Friday morning completing an assignment and a midterm exam for my GIS class. It wouldn't have taken so long, but my roommate's sister was watching all of the Michael Jackson news and video marathons she could get her hands on that night. Trust me, trying to explain the difference between vector and raster models is a bit difficult when the Thriller music video is being shown every ten minutes.
Well, my grandmother wants to use her computer, so I guess I'll have to "Beat It."
