Computer Literacy

I had to write this one so that I don't forget. I came home as usual and of course was approached, this time, by Rebekah for permission to use the computer. All the kids want to use the computer for something....email, youtube, games, whatever. The girls have gotten into these little stuffed animals called webkinz. For those of you that have never heard of them, here's an explanation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webkinz

Anyway, back to why I had to write this post. Rebekah asked if she could use the computer. I checked with Leslie to make sure that there wasn't any problem that would prevent her from using the computer and then logged her on. She launched the browser and I could see that she was fumbling around trying to get to something. She told me that she wanted to get to webkinz and so I looked in the history, found it, and selected the site. Without thinking about it I walked away to help with dinner. Shortly I heard Leslie talking to Rebekah and making a big deal out of something and so I walked back over to see. Rebekah had put in her ID and password and successfully logged into the site. I saw the ID before she had hit the Enter key and it was quite long! Man! I have half of my work people that can't remember a login ID as complex as what I saw Rebekah do! Where the heck do these kids get this?! Oh well, I better stay sharp or the youngsters are going to leapfrog ahead of me before I know it!
