Learning About That Tool We Call The Computer

<p>In this episode, I review my history with the use of the computer. I declare up front that it never ceases to amaze me how I became so computer savvy. I trace it back to my days as a graduate student working for a professor who had a Canada Council grant to do social research and I became his assistant. I just seemed to intuitively understand what the technology required of me and almost changed direction and went into Computer Engineering, way back then in the late '60s. I didn't obviously but when the personal computer first started to make its way onto the desktops of labs in schools, I picked up where I left off and never looked back. I want my listeners to understand that, if I can feel confident with technology, any one can.</p>
