Reluctant Immigrant

Though I use computers in so many ways in my work and home life, and value and rely on them for so much, still I am undoubtedly an immigrant and a reluctant one at that. My impulse is always to cry for help in frustration when something doesn't immediately work for me on the computer. I take no pleasure in understanding the technology or how it works and often feel I am dragging my heels and avoiding learning some new aspect. I know I am not alone in this and I know there is no point in persisting in this attitude, not in the work I do. So here I go and at least by the end of the course I should no longer be nervous of these particular kinds of application.
