More questions submitted by our fellow Monday Madness participants........Have fun! I may post the final set of participants' questions the week AFTER next. Thank you everyone for playing my meme! Have a blessed Christmas! =) 1. From Becky... How did you learn about computers? Were you self taught?2. From Tom... What is your favorite color and why is it your favorite color?3. From Olivia... What one thing going on in the world right now, has the most effect on you personally?4. From Barb... If you were going to develop your own meme, what kind would you create?5. From Sherle... Why do you enjoy answering memes?6. From Teresa... What is your wildest dream?7. From Mz. Em... Why do you answer these questions?
1. We got our first computer, an Apple IIgs (which was THE machine!) in 1988. I think it was a combo of asking other people, a lot of trial and error, and tutorials. Of course, there was no internet, blogs, etc back then. Basically, you could type, make spreadsheets and data bases. There were no "wizards", either. I remember, when I started doing grades on computer back then, I made up my own "gradebook", complete with the computations, etc. It was pretty archaic!
2. Purple is my favorite color because . . it is.
3. Great question! This summer I read "The Five People You Meet in Heaven." It's a great little "one-day" read that I think really makes you think about what you think you know and what is "truth." It's entirely possible that the thing that has the most effect personally is something you may be totally unaware of. We are all "pebbles tossed into a pool." Our lives are a finely woven fabric. . . . or the economy. (hahaha!)
4. What does "meme" mean?
5 They are thought-provoking!
6. I'm afraid to even think about that one! I have seen enough "Twilight Zone" episodes to "be careful of what I wish for!!!"
7. Isn't this pretty much the same as #5?
