I love the internet. I am a Google Granny. I use it constantly at work for word definitions (much quicker than a dictionary), images (a cake decorator needed a picture of a chimp showing his teeth - we could have looked forever before we found one in a book), song lyrics, information on endangered animals, telephone numbers (we have discarded our collection of telephone books) and other obscure information.
I use it at home to pursue my hobbies - real estate browsing, family history, knitting, music and recipes. An email account is a mixed blessing. Lots of spam and ads that I could live without and if you are one of those people who email an urgent message when you could have phoned - "a pox on all your houses".
I love the fact that my kids will email me jokes, pics of my grandchildren and keep in touch when they are overseas. They wouldn't dream of using snail mail.
This is a photo of my great-grandparents who came to Australia in 1857. I plan to publish my family history soon using scanned photos and copies of historical documents. Word processing will make it so much easier.
Is anyone out there able to recommend a scanner? I need to buy one soon.
