NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN
Learning things are started since someone is a baby. He learns how to communicate with others by using his cry. Then, as his age
increases, the ability to communicate also increases. A toddler starts to be able to use a language, it is usually the language of his mother (mother tongue). At the same time, the very young child learns about things around him. He learns how to play with toys, balls, games etc. And the learning process will continue on and on, till the unlimited time.
Now, it is the era of sophisticated technology. Electronic things, as the examples of technology, are developed year by year, month by month, week by week, or even day by day. Things which might not exist yesterday, might exist today. Things which were not needed yesterday, are needed today. Therefore, as an human being who lives in the era of sophisticated technology, someone has to learn how to deal with those things (if he does not want to be left behind). The problem is the ability to learn of old people is not the same as young people. In at about 40 years old, someone might have different enthusiasm, courage, or ability from a teenager or a young person. The effect is shown in the process of learning technology product. A 40-year-old-person tends to learn things slower than a teenager or a young person.
I am, personally, not a young person and live in the era of sophisticated technology. I, like it or not, have to learn how to use the product of technology. Frankly I tell you that I need longer time to learn it. And it gets worse because I cannot afford to buy the product, right now (I hope I can afford it soon). I might be able to go to public places where I can learn to use the things, but it, of course, spends more time, especially when I have lots of things to do after work ! What I actually want to say is, I can’t learn how to use internet faster. My students seem like they can do it more quickly and easily. Some of my friends can also learn it quickly. Some members of my family have also been able to operate it well, too ! So, Why do I learn slowly? Well, I don’t have to push myself that hard. I know I learn this thing quite alright, I just need some time more because I can’t learn thing which must be done in certain time required. I can’t learn thing under pressure. I can 0nly learn thing relaxingly. So, I’m sure I will be able to operate internet very well someday. It’s never too late to learn ……
February 26, 2008. while watching students doing their try-out examination.

It is quite funny how you wrote “while watching students doing their try-out examination.”
It reminds me of schooldays in Indo… It is now that time of the year again, isn’t it, when we are sweating and stressing out for EBTANAS (:
Truth be told, I do not think that you don’t deal with the internet really well. Many of the people that I know of don’t even know how to open a browser (talking about maw-paw, duh..). It is a good thing that you have the desire to, maw-paw can’t care less.
Surely you need to post more things up here so I can hear what’s going on with you!
Actually, the problem of understanding technology doesn’t happen to the adult only. Since, the technology grows faster and faster, for teenager like me (am I ? ) sometimes it is hard to understand how a new program or technology run. Sometimes, it needs a long time, moreover if we don’t have the gadget by our own. However, it is another challenge for me, and what I got now is the result of understanding those technology. Beside it is so beneficial (esp for me as a student), technology is really really fun.
Ms. Sumar is right, in order to survive in this era, there is no reason to avoid the technology. I, personally, force my parents to understand the internet coz it will help them much in everything. Although it needed longer time for them to understand, but finally, they understand it. So, in my opinion, as long as there is a will to learn, age does not matter.
Btw, ma’am. i’m not sure that it needs longer time for u to understand internet, since the one who taught me to use it is you.
