Today's experience with modern technology centered around class assignments. The first situation had to do with this blog site. When I created my blog site for this class, I goofed and created two blogs with the same name (and the wrong name, too). To fix this, I typed in my question and the answer was pulled from an archive of similar questions and responses. The experts were not the manufacturers, but the users themselves. I found the information I was looking for and corrected my problem with the help of other users who knew more than I.
My other experience, also with classwork, was just reading. The readings are posted online. They are not hard-copies. Printing out enough copies for everyone can be time consuming and expensive. The readings can be accessed online, or if you're like me and like hard-copies, then the readings can be printed out. All of this sounds so simple and obvious, but 20 years ago it would have been easier to print out the readings. 30 years ago, it would only been possible for a handful of people. 40 years ago, it would not have been possible at all.
