# 1-4: Technical Ineptitude

Maybe it's a generational thing? Maybe it's because I haven't yet gotten used to the idea of an IBM Selectric with a ball instead of keys? Lifelong learning. It's so HARD.
Innovations. Bah! Give me a quill pen and an oil lamp!
What's all this noise I hear about the "Seven Deadly Habits"?
Mark my words: nothing good will come of this internet thing. Wasn't radio bad enough? Straight from that jazz into rock'n'roll, and what do we have now? I'd rather not say.
Well, anyway, thanks for listening.

UPDATE:
It is now July 31st, and most of the complaints listed above have been dealt with. I am therefore back, editing this initial post, a little less technically inept than I was a week ago.
I have just listened to the 7 1/2 Habits tutorial for a second time, since I never got around to posting on it the first time, and then forgot to come back to it.
This blog (and the other that I put up after establishing this one) IS my goal. I have long enjoyed visiting other people's blogs and discussing issues on-line with many people of varied interests, backgrounds, faith lives, and political persuasions. I always wished that I had a blog of my own, but the twin obstacles of inertia, and lack of confidence in my own technical abilities and potential for learning new things always kept me from even exploring the possibility of actually doing it. Learning 2.0 has given me just the prodding needed to get me going. Having overcome inertia, having begun to build confidence that I can, with a little work, achieve the goal of building and maintaining my own blog, I am well on my way. In the process, I have developed a new goal, which is to establish a site on which to publish some of my writings. This goal, which Learning 2.0 has also given me both the impetus and the reference material needed to reach, will hopefully be accomplished by this weekend.
I can truthfully say that in the past week I have crammed in more learning about the possible uses of the internet than I had picked up in the past ten years. It has been very rewarding. And it's on to the goal...
