What Can You Do With A Computer?

So what can you do with a computer anyway? I like what Steve (Woz) Wozniak, creator of the Apple computer says " Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window." Just because we are in the information age, it doesn't mean that we need to stop being the people we were meant to be. We don't have to give our lives to the computer. Instead we can use it like any other tool. We don't let the electric mixer master our lives, instead we master the mixer. We use it to make that cake or delectable dessert. Of course we wouldn't go back to beating the cake mix by hand, the mixer is a better and easier tool to use. So too is the computer.

Welcome!


33 years ago, the first truly portable computer was manufactured. Since then, the computer and associated technology has changed our lives forever, for good or bad. Remember when getting a fax on the same day was incredible? Now we get impatient if the email we sent takes 20 seconds to reach it's destination. The performance (speed) of the silicon chip, the heart of the computer, doubles every 18 months. I wish I could say the same for my performance!

Our culture seems to change nearly as fast. It seems no one uses the cell phone for talking anymore.

Many of us today feel that it is impossible to catch up with technology, and if we do, to stay on pace with the rapidly changing landscape. We feel increasingly alienated from the society we were so familiar with just a few years ago.

TekEase was created to help you feel comfortable using the tools of today. Though the computer is fast becoming the new pen and paper of communication, it is not more complicated to use than a cell phone or fax machine for most tasks. TekEase will help you through the fear of "pushing the wrong button". There are not too many things that you can do on a computer that can't be "undone"!
