I have many friends about my age who simply cannot cope with computers and the like. For me it was just an interesting challenge. Before blogging I used to write on Squidoo and there I needed to upload photos.I loved doing that. My best teacher was my daughter because I would say, "How do I do .....?" and she would reply, "Oh mother find out for yourself.!!" And I did. Previously I went to a short course in the local town and got the basics from that. It was just a matter of working through a book with very little input from the teacher. That's the thing with computers you just have to experiment. Don't let the bounder win!! The annoying thing about computers is that you can do something in about six different ways. You can use ctrl and P to print or go to file and find print. I know that is only two ways, but I think there are more. A friend of 77 recently bought a smart phone and I am very pleased with how he is getting on with it, even though he accidentally phoned me at midnight when I was sleeping.I think it's the women in my area who are less inclined to be computer literate. I live in a country area and I think the prevailing attitude is,"I got through all of my life so far without computers. Why start now."No doubt they will get by.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
