stock photo of old computer monitor When I was 10 or 11, I remember sitting next to my dad in our living room and reading computer code to him as he entered it into an Apple computer. We would finish the exercise and he would hit enter (or was it "run"?) and wait expectantly for the green type to appear on the screen. If we were lucky, the whole conversation would occur. Most often, there would be an error either in my dictation of the code, or in the typing of the code. We would then go painstakingly back through the lines, character by character, to find and correct the error. After what seemed like hours (and might have been), we would succeed and the computer would finally run the entire program. It was magical! My dad designed and built an earth-sheltered, passive solar home decades before solar panels were commonplace. He also was on a 9-month waiting list for a Prius, when hybrids were not seen on every street. While my dad is definitely on the cutting edge of technol...

Enlightening experience all over! Sign of Evolution too. You're never done learning I believe.
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever in your comments! You should join the A to Z challenge next time!
DeleteEducation is the link to the past, present, and future.
ReplyDeleteI like that! History is important.
DeleteWhat a cute school, with the bell and everything'

Education is much more than formal schooling, that's for sure!
DeleteEducation is really great. Paying back student loans. . . not so much. ;)
ReplyDeleteTrue, but education is one of the few things worth going into debt for.
Delete...a college? yow.... how many students? still in operation?
ReplyDelete(actually pretty cool, being that small: 'Class today we study American History.... who has the textbook?'... lol a little education humor)
being comfortable learning and acquiring (an) education is good, getting enjoyment from the very process is excellent.
I don't know why it is called "College." It was my mom's elementary school. It is still in operation. I don't know how many students there were, nor do I know how many there are now.
DeleteI agree that learning should be fun, even when it takes effort.
Looks like the building is well-perserved. As well as mom??? Education takes place EVERYWHERE!
ReplyDeleteMom is definitely aging kindly.
DeleteI was with Clark... maybe College is a regionalism for the district or something? I miss school... I wish it wasnt so expensive I would go back again.
ReplyDeleteI should ask my mom and see if she knows. I imagine you are right.
DeleteWhat a wonderful picture! A good teacher is the best thing any of us can ever have.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute little school! Love that it's still in operation.
