Word Processing Y2K

When I got my first writing assignment in college, I sat in front of my computer for at least five minutes before I turned to my roommate and said, “Do I just type this up in WordPad, or what?”

In case you were wondering, this event took place in September 2000 – and the ridiculousness of it can be directly attributed to my Catholic high school, which did not have a computer lab equipped with the Internet, Microsoft Word, or color-display monitors.

Apparently, the Computer Club was concerned with more important things – such as organizing their annual Valentine Gram program, where the entire student body filled out a questionnaire – on paper – the answers of which were manually entered by the Club into a computer program that matched respondents with like answers.

From a pool of at least 500 people, I was compatible with a total of three - one of whom, I kid you not, is now serving a life sentence for murdering his boyfriend.

But I’ve been lead to believe that things are improving technologically at Catholic schools around the country because GodTube.com, “the World's First Virtual Video Bible and Virtual Video Prayer Wall” is apparently the “#1 fastest growing website in the U.S.” according to a Dec. 18 news release.

“GodTube.com…today brought the Bible into the digital age with the launch of the first Virtual Video Bible and the world's first Virtual Video Prayer Wall, offering the 2.1 billion Christians around the world a whole new way to experience their faith this Christmas season.”

Might I recommend the video “Baby Got Book.”
