Today's post has no basis in any substance of learning, just my own worries.
As I sit here, toiling away on a research paper, I am hit repeatedly with the realization that I know little to nothing in the field of computers or technology. Sure, I know enough to make myself look smart if I'm talking to an average user. However, my research paper calls for details and explanations that I just cannot deliver.
Along with that, I cannot find a good place to START improving my knowledge. There are so many aspect to computing and hardware and software. There is no one starting point, really. At least, none that I have found yet. There is no "1+1=2" formula, no Kindergarten. Just a vast jungle of information of different species and forms that I get tangled in.
Granted, I am beginning to learn how to organize all this information. I am getting better at finding starting places. I am managing, and I continue to learn.
However, it is difficult to do find a good place to start out here in the wild.
I'm sure I will find a groove, and I have found a few small grooves already. Still, it worries me sometimes when I am face to face with things I do not know.
Though I suppose the recognition that I do not know everything is in fact, the best starting point of all.
