Not Such A Tangled Web

The week of February 11.

I’m not a computer person. I am terrible with technology, but on Wednesday I actually had a lot of fun working in the Web department at WJZ. Shannon and Rebekah were both very helpful and patient with me. And I discovered not all technology is difficult.

Every program they use to post and find stories and videos—Newspath, Iris, newswires—is very user-friendly; I mean very. If I can do it, anyone can. I may be a memebr of the "Millenial generation," but I was never interested in technology or the Internet until much later. I remember my brother being on AIM (before it was called AIM, when it was just instant messanger) and AOL all the time when I was eight, but I was never interested. No wonder he can navigate the Web so well.

Anyway, I was quite excited about this; the ability to post stories and edit video with a few clicks of the mouse. Makes me feel tech savvy. It’s the little things.

I will say, however, staring at a screen all day long definitely hurts my eyes! I don’t know how you do it, Shannon and Rebekah!
