TYPING AWAY IN THE COMPUTER LAB IN THE CUYAHOGA COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY

It's hard to imagine what life was like before the invention of desktop computers. It's even harder to imagine what life was like before the general public was allowed access to the internet. Yet, such possibilities were a reality when I was born. The first desktop computer was introduced when I was moving from Central Elementry School to Shepherd Junior High. The internet was first made available to the general public when I was starting college class. I still remember a time when people didn't use cell phones nearly so often. Yes, technology is moving past very quickly. With luck, the human race will be able to apply computer technology with maturity, dignity and grace.
