Word of the day

On my way to work, I kept fretting about yesterday's assignment and wondered if I did anything right. I was thinking about how difficult it was for me to complete with the server reverting from English to Spanish and vice versa every hour or so and the internal server errors that kept popping whenever I tried to design my clouds. I was wondering why for all the classes that I have under my belt and all the library experience I have acquired through the years, am I tech-dyslexic...i.e. if there is ever such a description for tech impaired people like me.

I was even lamenting and askasked my boyfriend last night why am I so tech-stupid and he said, "because you are a princess..." And I was like, "Awww...you're such a sweetheart!" thinking he was trying to make me feel better, until he added: "from the medieval times." I hung up on him.

Just as I was despairing over my lack of tech knowledge, what's funny is that as I was riding the elevator to the 46th floor where my area is, I glanced up to the monitor that shows the news, weather and some trivia bits and what do you know, the word of the day is: DIGERATI.
When I read the definition, it says "Persons knowledgeable about computers and technology." No need to rub salt in my wounds, I know that I may not be digerati but I'm learning to be, at the very least, capable of using new technology. I wonder now if after passing this class will I be able to change the name of my blog to DoratheDigerati...hahaha! :o)
