TIME Person of the Year

The TIME Magazine's person of the year of 2006 was "you". This means that instead of honoring one incredible person in this world, TIME decided to honor everyone. I think that this is a huge step for our society. It says that we are finally understanding that it takes more that just one person to make a difference in this world. It takes us all.
It was said in the article that Web 2.0 is the reason for this shift. It has allowed us to share our ideas and thoughts with the rest of the world and to expand our knowledge of things unknown to us. If this is so, then the possibilities for even more expansion and evolution is endless. We must continue on this exploration and never close our minds to new and unknown things. From here, we can go anywhere. From here, we can do anything.

My Computer Skills

My Microsoft skills before this class were fairly minimal. I took a BCIS course in high school which taught me the very basic parts of the program but not very much more than that. As far as other programs go, I do not know very much. I can do basically just the basic tasks and beyond that I struggle. I hope that this class will better equip me to work with computers for these next four years and then after that into the job force.
