Computers and Broderick

Have you heard of a thing called Internet? What is this interweb everyone keeps talking about for heaven's sake, I ask you verily. Well now, there once was a time when all of us forty somethings did not know the first thing about computers or the internet or that pesky phenonomen of social media. I remember as a teenager watching American films, usually starring Matthew Broderick, in which our United States fellow adolescents would be depicted being moody up in their rooms, comfortable as they always seemed (the rooms, not the teens) and already furnished with a bulky looking personal computer. It seemed so advanced when the best we could do in little old Holland was mess around with a lowly games computer that was just one step up from Pong, the funny table tennis game that, truth be told, I still like.

Many years have passed, gather around little oned and grand dad is going to tell you a mighty story and so on. No, but seriously the internet has changed lives forever. These days when I need to find out about something I just look online, often using that well known search engine. Once the only recourse would have been to make endless phone calls, trying to locate some service or business that you were in need of in a hurry or otherwise.

So whether it is linux web hosting or any other kind of information technology requirement, it is all out there for you. I am sure you know how to find what you are looking for. Tap, tap on your keyboard and you are there, no worries, mate!
