Feeling Good
by Gloria Piner

The computer is a wonderful technology that everyone should learn. At the age of 73 I knew nothing about computers. I attended college and was scared to death to sit in a room with a bunch of other students that I did not even know and look stupid. I didn't even know how to turn on a computer. I learned so much in a short period of time. I felt like there was something that I could do that some other people could not do. Knowing how to use the computer made my low self esteem rise to where I for once in my life felt good about myself. I actually felt I could do something with my life. My granddaughter, a second grader, knew more about computers than I did at the age of 73.
