Although I think that moving from paper work to computer work is cool and something new, I don't really like it. It's so confusing and if something happens to your computer you're S.O.L. And if you don't have a computer, you're pretty much helpless because you can't do the homework and you fall behind, unless you find another way to get on the internet. I do like that we now have more ways to research stuff but at the same time, I like to actually page through the books and do things the "old fashioned way". I mean don't you think it was a better time when calculators were as big as desks and cell phones were too big to fit in your purse? I don't know. I guess I'm divided on the whole issue. But I'll get used to it...
