A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's computer word processing program.. She told him she was writing a story.
"What's it about?" he asked.
"I don't know," she replied. "I can't read."

Children are being introduced to computers right after birth.  Many may be having their bottle while mom works on her Email.  There are games theY can play by the time they are a year but are not ready for programs  with storylines until age 3-4.  Before tablets and touch screen children needed first to be able to use a mouse to navigate the screen, which occurs by 3-4 years old.  With touch screen technology they have control even younger.  

 

Keep your  Computer Running Smoothly

Windows 7 is a powerful and flexible operating system but it needs some regular attention to keep it running smoothly.

Protect your computer from viruses and attacks with a good anti-virus program.We have used the free version of AVG for many years and are  satisfied with the results. 

Use CCleaner regularly.  It is free and can be easily downloaded off the internet.  It enables you to clear out any unwanted programs and temporary files. 

Back up important files.  No matter how careful you are computers are just machines and important information can be lost

Physically clean out your hardware.  I have opened many machines that are full of dust.  You an purchase a can of compressed air, turn off your machine, pop the case and start cleaning. 

 

                                    Email  Advice

Email allows us to quickly send our thoughts to friends and family.  However it also allows us to express our feelings. This is fine unless we are angry at that person at the moment.  We often write things without thinking ahead and regret what we wrote the next day. Once we click on the send button we can no longer take it back.  My advice is to save your email as a draft until the following day, reread it and then decide whether you really want to send it.
