Blog Prompt – “Communication: The art and technique of using words effectively to impart information or ideas.” That is what we are accomplishing here. A form of communication by using words effectively to impart information. But with the advent of the computer and the shortcuts used on the computer to convey ideas and emotions it appears they are becoming more prevalent in our day to day lives, as well.

How has communication changed since the computer became a household appliance?

Our computer is the hub of our household for sure.  Always looking up information.

My husband can find all the sports information that he needs to keep up with his football team.  Every morning when he gets up, he will turn on the computer, check out the latest with the Falcons and do a little research.  The draft is in a few weeks, so he is intently watching the forums right now.

I am always looking up information on Google, my new best friend.  I realized a while back that if you can’t find it on the internet, you can’t find it.  Of course, I use my computer to keep all my book keeping in line, my photos at a fingers touch and all my music is always on hand to listen to while I work.  I look up recipes, directions, my banking and I can shop! I much prefer having my purchases brought to my front door and I don’t have to drive. I also love my calendar that pops up everyday to tell me what my appointments are coming up.

When I got my degree in Computer Science back in the ’70′s, I had no idea that the personal computer would do what it can do now.

One of the things I love doing is watching videos on YouTube.com.  I love posting my favs on my blog and today I am posting Adam Lambert’s performance on American Idol last night.  I just love this young man’s voice and I feel he is the best that has been on American Idol.  And he’s nice on the eyes too!

Have a great time on your computer today,
