This Whole Place Is Electronically POLLUTED....

  ...even your computer.     Hey, everyone! Wow, my schedule has been so hectic lately. Hope you guys are doing great, especially with online classes taking up a lot of our time--and brain cells.     At least you are not throwing old computers away.     Do not worry! I will get to the point. Later. I swear!     Anyways, I have like twenty minutes to write this thing, so if I can get this down in five, that will be aaaaall better. Now, why is time so relevant here? It is simple. A couple of decades ago, maybe five, the world was not really into computers much.     Well, do not get me wrong! I am pretty  sure scientists and engineers were already fiddling with computers back in the day. In fact, they were SO big, engineers were using up their brain cells trying to figure out how to make computers smaller. Ahhhhh, those were the days.  During those days, since not everyone had access to a computer, there were not a lot of bro...

STUDY DIARIES: I Am So NOT Used To This.

I am... really not used to this.      Hey, everyone. I guess there should be a reason why I am posting at such an ungodly hour as this. I have been thinking about doing something like this for a while now, and I never really had the initiative to.

Sometimes I cannot believe this has been going on for as long as it is, but then again I think of how some people wear their face shields like crowns, and I am no longer surprised.     Seriously, guys. Please wear your masks and face shields properly. Wash your hands. If you can, please STAY AT HOME!     Anyways, that was today's public service announcement. Now, moving on to our main topic.     I am really not used to this who...

MY FIRST TIME—but it is NOT what you think.

  My first? First what ? I do NOT know what you are thinking. Well, you got me. I was trying to play up a joke there, but I guess the spectrum of “firsts” are wider than I thought, and does not leave much room for joking around. Maybe next time. So for my first formal, for-class post, I will share my first experience with a computer. I would say that it is easy, but you know... It is not so easy when you realize you have been using computers your whole life.  And I mean, my WHOLE life. I would not say I am clueless of my first experience with a computer, because I do remember hours of playing retro PC games on my uncle’s Windows 97, with that big fat monitor we all used to have back in the day. Perhaps even my first foray with digital art, creating lord knows what sorts of shapes on MS Paint, and telling my mum they were “baby rabbits” when they looked like clouds. Ah, those were the good old days. If we are talking about computers on a, well, “ a computer can be...
