A computer needs sleep to.

A computer needs sleep to. Recently I wasn’t turning off my PC and it was getting really slow. I was getting pretty mad because I had been running CCleaner, AdAware and a virus scan about daily and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Then I actually turned the computer off and it was like it was brand new (compared to what it was like)! I couldn’t believe it! since then I usually turn it off for the night as much as I can. And another thing. You can’t leave a program running. I, okay, my mom, left Firefox open and it gradually took up more and more CPU usage as it was left on there longer, kinda like a person after him/her has been working for awhile. I knew that it kept taking up more and more because when you open Firefox it takes up about, oh, 5 to 10% tops and when I opened Windows Task Manager later on it was taking up about 50-70%! and all it was doing was sitting with Firefox open to a Amazon shopping cart. And running programs like TrueTransparency will drain my resources too. As I got to shit down the computer it takes awhile to open the window with the option with TrueTransparency. And if you’re running Microsoft Office 2007, don’t get me started! it takes up a pretty good amount of CPU usage! and that’s because, just like all of Microsoft’ new software, it’s looks go hand-in-had with Vista. And what happened what’s happening to Vista? IT’S FLUNKING!

Handwriting.

Handwriting, like giving change, is probably becoming a lost art. There was an article some time age called The multitasking generation. This article was a great article, along with Turn it off kids! to bring people to a relization about how much we, (kids and adults) rely on technology. Just about a week ago I went into a gas station to buy some water. I got it and went up the the counter. The attendant then proceeded to attempt to count my coins that I had brought. He had a very hard time, resulting in just taking what I told him was the price and then me leaving, with a smile and a laugh later on. Later my Dad said that people used to be able to count change ! like that. Not anymore. That’s just like handwriting. In another article called Don’t fear the digital by STEVEN JOHNSON, he said “A penmanship expert would look at that sorry trend and say, “What a disaster! The adoption of the personal computer has led to a marked deterioration of an important communication skill.” But that assessment would be meaningless without factoring in all the benefits I’ve enjoyed from switching to the keyboard. Not only can I put words together at 10 times the speed of using pen and paper, but I can also transfer those words to the digital realm, where they can be edited, spell-checked, e-mailed, quoted, blogged and Googled.” this is probably true with most people today. If you can either painstakingly write so that other people can read it or speedily type and spell check your words all at once, which would you choose? now if I had the Fly pentop computer then that would bedifferent. Then I wouldn’t need to be at my computer to record my thoughts for a blog, I could write them down then later sending them to my PC. Ahh, technology, it’s two sided. Great and bad at the same time.
