I avoided the iPod and bought a cheaper type. Lately I have been putting
more lectures on it than music.
Through the internet I have learned more in the past 2 1/2 years than I did
between grades 8 and 12.
..and more than I did in 25 years since graduating H.S. (!)
I work long hours and never would have learned much more of anything if not
for the internet.
I am not sure why I want to learn, but it is entertaining to listen to the
neurons sputter and fizzle ;)
Hmmm.. I hope I don't burn out something important.
