I try to make sure I am not computer dependent. The funny thing is that I didn't know how to use a computer until about 8 years ago because as a working dancer and singer, there was no need to learn about them! I didn't know how to send an email, for example!

The computer, the internet, scares me in some ways. I think at times it is "too much information." It also stops me from concentrating on a good book or hearing a good piece of music. ( I stayed away from MTV so that I could hear songs and when I directed videos I had no preconcieved ideas from anyone elses work.) I do not watch other dance, for example so that my choreography is fresh. Too much information.

I like it for things like this site:
To be able to talk to people without the problems that can come from race, class, how a person looks, etc.. I've been able to get to know and understand people I never would have without a computer. I just would never be in the same place as some of the people I've met are! THAT part is fun and good, I think.

Otherwise, it does scare me a bit!
