My middle aged adventure into ciberspace.

I suppose there are many of you out there who are quite adept with the cyberspace technology. I am relatively new to it all. It is at once fascinating and overwhelming. I am enjoying the prospect of availing myself to all the new possibilities. I am in my early fifty's and I am feeling a little like my great grandmother must have felt. Let me explain. My great grandmother rode into Philadelphia as a teenager on a horse drawn wagon. People in the city were complaining about pollution at the time all the horse manure was a very big problem. My great grand mother died shortly after the first man landed on the moon. When I was in school there were no computers except for government agencies. PCs were not yet invented. I was curious in the late eighty's when people told me you could shop on line but they were too slow to keep my interest. Still I knew they were the wave of the future and I tried to encourage my son to get involved with computers. At the time they couldn't hold a candle to skateboarding. So here I am middle aged beginning my journey into cyberspace. They say that life really begins at middle age. I am starting to believe. The adventure begins.
