Ye knowe eek, that in forme of speche is chaunge With-inne a thousand yeer, and wordes tho That hadden prys, now wonder nyce and straunge Us thinketh hem; and yet they spake hem so, And spedde as wel in love as men now do.

You know the form of language, too, can change. Within a thousand years, even the words that were most precious then, seem strange and foolish to us; yet they spoke them so and did no worse in love than we now do.
You know technology literacy is dying because I saw this meme with 76k likes
F11 the full screen button? You’re scared of the full screen button? F10?? It opens the menu bar???
Computers are so scary what if I accidentally hit F12 in a steam game and it takes a screenshot. What if I press shift + F12 while in word and accidentally save my document ????
If you had to learn what the F keys on your computer do through me reblogging this post, then I’m glad you did. Computer literacy is not a skill that gets taught anymore, and it is absolutely one that needs to be taught in order to be learned. Don’t ever feel bad for not knowing something, but ?? don’t ever stop learning learning about your environment, the tools you use, and especially the people around you
Never stop learning+ Never stop sharing what you learned
As smart TVs, Phones, Tablets and Chromebooks take over, we need to be reminded that conventional computers are not available to everyone, and in fact the number of households that have a fully unlocked computer, running a full operating system, is decreasing.
* Over 27 million households (roughly 1 in 4) may lack a traditional computer, creating gaps in performing complex tasks like remote work or education.
* Households with lower incomes, renters, and those in rural areas are less likely to own a computer compared to urban, higher-income, and homeowner households
