Wow, in only four days I've learned more than I thought I could in the whole 6 weeks I'll be here.

In only four days here at ls.net I've learned more than I thought I could learn in six weeks.

When I got this internship and started work on Nov. 30, I was very excited, and hopeful for all I would learn. I've loved computers ever since I was old enough to play around with them. Computers have just, always fascinated me. Being a child I was amazed at all the neat things you could do. Playing games, and listening to virtually any song I could think of I wanted to hear, those two things alone sparked my first main interests in computers as a child, and was definitely enough to impress me then.

Now, as an adult my interests in computers has grown even more, and I realize there is so much more to computers than playing games and listening to music. Even as I grow older—and computers, and Internet evolve—new advances in technology never cease to amaze me.

Just when you think things are advanced, and you can't believe some of the luxuries you have, technology throws something more greater and advanced out at you. Technology has come a long way. We look back to the past and hear stories from our grandparents of the lifes they had to endure, and we really consider ourselves lucky. I really couldn't imagine society today with no electricity, automobiles, or cell phones, or just land-line phones for that matter. We have became so dependent on technology, and well, with it advancing daily that seems to be no problem. I'm thankful for the people that keep this world advancing, and makes living for us pleasurable. However, I still think back to how hard it must have been for people in the "olden days" and am thankful for what all we have today. Of course the more you endure, the stronger it makes you.

I've kind of went off track a little to what I was going to previously write about, but when my mind starts wondering, I tend to write a little excessively.  In the four days I've been working here at ls.net, I've realized there is so much more to computers than all the basic stuff; for instance: computer maintenance, Internet browsing, designing graphics, etc. I'm learning so much more, and I'm very thankful for that. How the Internet actually works, how Internet service is installed, html, drupal, radius, those are just some examples of all the knowledge that I'm acquiring. I could go on and on about all I have learned in only four days here, and with five more weeks of my internship remaining, I can't wait to possess all the knowledge I will have when the internship is over. I will be even more ready for this world of technological advances.
