But I have a somewhat irrelevant question. Did you say that was your son playing the drums? I'm interested. Have you two any cool recordings I could listen to (preferably your own stuff)?
What a nice comment, thank you. Yes that is my son and after looking at your drumming solo, I see the interest is a common one. We have not recorded together, no, but Ben has more music, yes...all his own stuff
Great video! I found it very entertaining to hear about the very high expectations we have for computers.
I have to say I am in the same boat - I telecommute to my office in CA from my home in VT, and I expect to be able to get my work done quickly and efficiently using my computer.
I expect my computer to do what I ask of it, which doesn't always happen. I expect it to let me process photos, play music, lay out newspaper pages, browse the internet, let me IM and more...all at the same time.
I expect my computer to help me keep in touch with people I care about. It's almost
entertainment. I desire the company of other people, and I can sort of get it online via my computer. I also expect my computer to protect my data more than I should.
I too work supporting computers. In that vein I expect computers to be stupid. They will do, exactly what we have told them to do. Sadly not what we want them to do. I also expect to be frustrated by them.
Stef! Thanks for watching and the comments--how does the cost of being "always connected" there compare with what we pay to be connected at all up here? I'm curious...
the main impression i came away with is the widespread reliance on computer technology in higher ed -- makes me curious as to what is happening at other ed levels -- the different perspectives were insightful (but barely scratched the surface of users, and uses, on campus) -- another common theme is that of increasing expectations, which isn't surprising considering Moore's law is still in effect -- the jamming was a nice touch (of all the things that computing has touched)
Excellent job on the video, Carol. I really enjoyed watching it.
Cheers! - Harjit

Yeah, that was a while ago. You'll have to record together sometime though.

Hi Carol,

What a computer dependent world we have become!
