She’s ok with that but simply cannot accept my reasons when I tell her that “I have no time!” <o:p></o:p>Fifteen years ago, I didn’t even know how to use a mouse. Ten years ago, I was intrigued with this thing called the Internet. I opened my first email account and learned how to chat on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICQ">ICQ</a>. <o:p></o:p>A month ago, I taught this same friend how to use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype">Skype</a> and just today, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook">Facebook</a>! Talk about evolving with the times. But I was only too glad to help. One more friend to chat on Skype and connect via Facebook, eh? *wink* <o:p></o:p>Yet what I can impart to her is so little compared to the knowledge of the young ones. Little Bkworm’s <a href="http://www.friendster.com/">Friendster</a> page is so colorful and full of blinking pictures with music to boot. She learnt it from her friends and I, in turn, am learning from her! Who says, the young cannot teach the old? <o:p></o:p>There is still so much to learn. And so much to do on the Internet. Don't know something? Check the Net. What's that thing again? Let's Google it! On top of that, I hardly have time to blog, go through my blogroll or check my Facebook. In short, barely scratching the surface of cyberspace. At this age?? Yep, I am no spunky youngster with the hots for computer games and neither am I some computer whiz that reads computer language like how one would read Shakespeare, but I AM addicted. That quite explains why “I have no time”. <o:p></o:p>Oh, did I ever mention that sometimes Papa Bkworm and I skype each other in the same room (ok, we were mainly sharing files which is faster than sending it by email) and buzz Little Bkworm who’s chatting online in the next room, to tell her that it’s time to shut down the PC and go to bed! <o:p></o:p>In case you think we can getting a little dysfunctional here, human related activities are still very much alive in this household…..when we are not busy at the PC. LOL!! <o:p></o:p>Have a great weekend, ya’ll! <o:p> </o:p><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p>Bkwormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16230980046271675961de_bookworm@yahoo.com
