Interesting question. It's very noticeable everywhere on the Internet. I always have a mental picture of this little,\nsheepish guy with a pocket protector and broken glasses typing like there is no tomorrow with the nickname of terminator or some such,,,,just makes me laugh and put the whole thing into perspective.

Oh my!  The computer and the Internet have totally revolutionized my life!!\n\nI actually have a social life now, online, which before I did not, because I am homebound and often bedridden.  There is an entire world at my fingertips.  A library, the worlds largest shopping mall, all the friends a person could want, information for every need, I have a life now!!\n\nI know that many tens of thousands and more of people like me feel totally liberated by the internet.  Also, I love to read, but my vision is too poor to read most books, but if they are in digital format, I can increase the light and fontsize to where I can read it comfortably, and dont have to hold a book or turn pages.\n\nAnd on top of it all, I met my hubby online, can keep in contact with my kids and grandkids and parents, all of whom live in another country.\n\nIt's been an awesome thing in my life.

When I was about 2 or so, my parents were getting devorced. \nI remember when my father came back to the house to get his things he took the couch.\nI then became scared that he'd take our computer so I ran to the door and locked him out. (it was '93 or so, and we didn't even use the comp! I was just happy that I could say we owned a computer.)\n\nYa I know that's a great first memory, I feel guilty for it. lol

You are indeed a brave soul.  You also weren't lying, I had full access to your PC.  You better hope someone with bad intentions comes across this.

It sounds as if wingnut isn't really looking for any particular answer, but instead words of encouragement.  \n\nMy advice is, don't give up.  I know computers can be frustrating at first.  You feel like you might break it and you're afraid to push any buttons.  Just relax and have fun with it.  The more you try new things the easier it gets.  If you make a mistake, then just remember what happened and that way next time you will know the right way to do it.\n\nThe main thing to remember is, computers can definitely enrich your life.  Both in business and in play.  Think of all the things you can research regarding your hobbies and interest. There is a whole new world out there waiting for you to learn to access it..

i tend to agree.. i have been a pc jockey for a bit too long myself and its occuring more and more to me lately that there actually is a world outside.  sometimes im shocked when the sun hits my face, so maybe it's time to stuff the box in the closet and take out my walking shoes.  id like to write a book too, but i find the time passing on the internet most days, then another and another.  thing is, every day is the same on the internet and there doesnt seem to be any real point to it.  hm

person, person person! would you be impressed if you were asked out via a pc? it may be easier for you to do but the relationship will be on a much better foundation if you do it in person!

Everything I know about computers is self-taught with the exception of the odd question asked along the way.\n\nI hate manuals and much prefer to learn through trial and error.\n\nIf you're in the process of learning then just try things out.  Good thing about computers is that you get warning messages if you're about to do something untoward and if you're about to do something critical then you get several warning messages.

absolutely! and i think thats a great question. i did not know about cyc or 20q.\n\ni could see this yahoo beta program here as something when properly utilized that could become the basis for sometihng 'smart'. and i dont just mean the answers to all of the questions, although those are certainly an integral part. i think that maybe what we are missing in our quest for artificial intelligence is that we are try to figure out how to get a machine to understand all of these facts and figures and answers.\n\ni think that we need to rethink things. what if we could teach a machine to ask questions?\n\nanyway, these are sortof the random musings that bounce around in my mind. good luck!

I think the click is intentional, it makes people feel more connected to thier computer. But I'd buy a quiet mouse myself, if I found one.
