A Better Understanding of the Inner Workings of a Computer - News - Bubblews

A Better Understanding of the Inner Workings of a Computer - News - Bubblews: "This is going to be my very first entry on to this site, as well as my first venture into online blogging/article writing in general, so please try to bear with me. Any (constructive) criticism, tips, or hints are more than welcome!

She feels uncomfortable in this foreign world. Yet it's mysterious and fantastical. There's a moment of hesitation, of maybe wanting to go back home where everything will be safe and predictable, before she finds her footing. The draw is too great to turn back. Apple's iOS 7 shimmers and glides. The so-called flat design looks cold initially, but soon seems cutting edge. Dive into the settings, and you'll uncover wonderful improvements in security.

Everything's different, but this is a time for closing your eyes, making the leap, and embracing change."
