After reading about how bits and bytes work, I am extremely confused about how binary code is written.  I really don't think being a computer specialist is the route for me to go in libraries.  I do understand that it is important to know how to use general software programs and basic troubleshooting.  That way I will be able to help patrons when they have computer problems.  Binary code reminds me of the Dewey Decimal System and Library of Congress Cataloging Systems, in that they have their own individual languages that need to be understood before they can be used.

I am old fashioned in terms that I have kept my thoughts down on paper and off the Internet till this moment.  I hope that I do well in this class and brush up on my computer basics, which has I have failed to keep up with in the past decade.  I feel very old after that statement.
