The man to my left is Seth Keever.  And for this blog, he is my hero.

He has played a major role in a rather monumental moment in my life.  Seth is singulary responsible for showing me how to put his picture (and of course, any other) on my blog. 

I admit it!!  It’s true.  All of the technical changes that seem to occur almost daily is very intimidating to me.  Heck, until recently I was still using a VCR!!  Imagine how embarrassing it was going  to a movie rental store and asking saying “Excuse me, but uh, do you have this on VHS?”  Oh , the looks I would get made me want to crawl into a hole.

  The problem is I just get overwhelmed when trying to figure out how to use just about anything new - on the phone or computer.  I have to go through a certain amount of drama before I actually sit down to figure it out.  “Oh God!”  “Not another thing to learn.  What was wrong with the old way?”  (These days, old is about six months.)  Seth calls  me a “Digital Immigrant”.  That, he says is someone who did not grow up using computers and other high-tech gadgets for just about everything.  He,  on the other hand,  is a “Digital Native.”  He says that’s a person who wasn’t born in the old days - which he says is any date before 1979.  Geez!!!  For them, life begins and ends on computers and other high-tech devices.

  At any rate,  he patiently guided me through the process of posting his picture and, what do you know, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought.  Isn’t that always the case.

  So here’s to you Seth, and other Digital Native’s, who can take the time to teach an a Digital Immigrant how to feel at home - in this ever chaning digital age.
