Curious Incidents of a Flailing Mermaid

An Apple a Day

30DBC - 22nd Jan - Prompt: On this day in 1984, Apple introduced the Macintosh during the third quarter of Super Bowl XVIII. Personal computers have revolutionized nearly every aspect of our lives...in what ways have they been most important to you?

Ho humm... I seem to have made it through the last three blog posts with minimal pain. I feel like I've been playing catch up all month. Which, to be fair, is because I have I really must go and read and comment on other blogs. I did go through a few last week but I must try harder on this front. I'm not getting the usual "we're in this together" feeling I get when I do 30DBC.

I think I might have worked out what I want to do this year. Or, perhaps, what I need to do to make me feel like I'm not just turning my brain into a blob. I want to do some learning. I'd already started a Creative Writing course, but haven't done any work for it in a while. So, I need to do something with that.
Also, I have some CPD funding owed to me and I'm toying with the idea of doing two or three other courses too... I'll talk about this more another time.

I must admit, I am a bit of Apple geek. I've used a MacBook for years. In fact, I've used one for so long now that I struggle when I try and use a PC - Chris' Windows laptop really pisses me off. Windows is just not user friendly at all (in my opinion).

I think I would struggle without a computer. They allow me to communicate to a far higher standard than I'd otherwise be able to. Not just with wonderful people across the world (like here on WDC) but in general. Because of my impairment, my hand writing is shockingly bad. Therefore, without the use of a computer I'd have struggled to get the education I got in the end and none of my ideas would come to fruition.
I also use email far more than the phone so I wouldn't be able to do this either. That'd affect my ability to work, of course.

Basically, without a computer, I'd be fucked
And without Apple I'd be frustrated

Cheers guys
