			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The computer used to scare me.  I was afraid if I pressed a wrong key &#8230; I would blow up the whole system.  Thus &#8230; I didn&#8217;t touch it very much.  I didn&#8217;t join friends on Facebook, I simply ignored the requests, only because I didn&#8217;t know how to join Facebook.  I never told anyone this of course.  I&#8217;d heard the term &#8220;google&#8221; &#8230; but I never knew what that meant either.  I simply thought it sounded like a funny name. </p>
<p>About a year ago I really started feeling disconnected.  The world was passing me by &#8230; I was stuck back in time, and it was no longer o.k. I needed to overcome this fear &#8230; the fear that is only there because we are naturally hesitant to try something new &#8230; or step out of our comfort zone.  That&#8217;s really what it boiled down to.  I was out of my comfort zone.  It was easier to stay disconnected and not be part of this wonderful world of technology that linked everyone together.  I finally decided to join in &#8230; see what was really out there.  One website at a time &#8230; one view into Facebook &#8230; and wow &#8230; I realized what I was missing!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been one year now since I &#8220;googled&#8221; my first question &#8230; I was simply looking for a gift I couldn&#8217;t find locally to purchase for a friend &#8230; from that moment on I&#8217;ve never looked back.  This thing called &#8220;the computer&#8221;  has become a great friend &#8230; a tool to use to get me anything that my heart desires &#8230; and a window into a world that one year ago I didn&#8217;t even know existed.  I&#8217;m so glad that I ventured out of that comfort zone &#8230; is there something in your life that is frightening you?  Something as silly as this? If there is &#8230; work to conquer that fear &#8230; it will probably be the best thing you ever did, and open up a whole new world for you!</p>
