A Mouse In Every Hand

Hello and welcome to "A Mouse In Every Hand". Why this title you say? Because I believe that computers and technology are tools that God has blessed us with in our generation, and I would love to see everyone be "computer literate", and use these tools to allow them to have a better quality of life, and further Gods' Kingdom. If you are not yet a believer in Christ, I pray that as you continue to read this blog and go through the lessons I post, that God will open your eyes to the Gospel of His Son Jesus Christ, and bring you to salvation. For there is salvation in no other name than in the blessed Name of Jesus Christ. Amen?

Thus begins lesson one: "What is a computer?"

A computer is a machine that manipulates data according to a set of instructions. YOU tell a computer what to do. It is a box, filled with electronic components, that will do what YOU tell it to. There is no need to be afraid of computers, or think that you are computer "illiterate", for I believe that if you can flick a switch to turn on a lightbulb, then you can learn your way around a computer, and even do some very cool things with them too.

Computers have not been with us for very long. I remember when I was around 11, I had a Texas Instruments (TI) computer, and the storage units for backing up data and saving your work was done on an external CASSETTE PLAYER! It is amazing to see how things have progressed. Now, in my hand, the computing power of my iPhone far surpasses the capabilities of computers from when I was growing up. I remember when VCR's were the latest in entertainment technology, and they were top=loading machines. I can almost remember 8-Tracks too, (I was a toddler and my dad would play "Abbey Road" by The Beatles on his 8-Track in his car......) But I digress....

So throughout my posts, I will try to pass on to my readers computing basics, and start you on the path to discovering the wonders of computers and how beneficial they can be to our lives. I will also give advanced computing tips and show you many shortcuts to doing things that you may already be doing now, just faster.

And of course I will top it all off with bits of Scripture and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for everything I do I do for His glory.

You may be wondering why I have ads on this blog. Well, having an internet connection costs money. And I am trying to pay my own way though Bible College and Seminary, and it costs you nothing to learn what I am teaching. You don't have to click on a single ad and I will still continue to post my tech blogs in order to help you and answer any questions you may have. I enjoy helping others, and I do this to pass onto others what God has blessed me with, knowledge of technology.

May the Lord bless all who read this.
