STUMPED IN THE LINQUISTIC JUNGLE
August 26, 2009I don’t think I am dithery when it comes to computer technology; I am certainly not ‘machine-averse’. I spent a good part of the last decade educating myself on computer software use and the technology. Developments move so fast, a bit like what is under the bonnet of a car, that I am beginning to think that I am lagging behind.
Keystrokes; I am not too bad at those. They seem to be much as such whichever platform you are working with. I can underscore, open boxes that give me what I want, and close things down when I have done!
I have bought a basic html book, with that I have mastered a few of the basics. I can create emphases, emoticons, where a system allows it. It is clear though, I do not have a enough knowledge, especially when it comes to subscribing to feeds, creating delicious looking outlines to blogs and adding what I do to various public fora. Cut and paste from my address bar does not appear to ‘cut the mustard’ to coin a phrase.
Much as I like communicating, I think I am stumped in this linguistic jungle.
