Not yet. Emphasis on yet. I will get there. Computer died over the weekend so we had to go get a new one and now I don’t know how to make the orange buttons work. All my feeds are gone!
Ok, I’ve read it. The teacher in me wanted a red pen; might I suggest you make more use of my friends, the comma and the semi-colon. They make arguments so much easier to follow (Also, with “there, their and they’re” – never trust the spellcheck!)
I think you argued your point well though, even if the conception of a ‘soul’ is perhaps unfounded, or at least, quite inaccurately understood.
Nah, it was something to do with power to the motherboard – blah, blah, blah – it all means nothing to me. So all files are intact and Drew has this neat little cord that he can attach the old hard drive to the new computer with. I was worried we’d lose all the photos we have of the kids, but we didn’t, thankfully. Definitely the problem with digital cameras – no one gets copies printed. No one has real albums anymore.
That’s good. A safe-ish scare like that can be motivating to get a good backup system going (erm… should get onto that myself).
Dad reckons this current generation will be a ‘lost generation’ in terms of photos – whole chunks of history can be lost in a hard-disk error, and even if they survive, in 10 years we might not be able to read the files. Its really scary. And when you have a couple of computers in a family, they get spread out, which makes it even harder to back them up.
We’re taking more photos than ever before, but do we still look at them? Back in the day you might have 2 or 3 photos of a an afternoon, but they were kodak moments because people took the time to frame them and made them worthwhile. Now we take 400 bad photos in one afternoon – who wants to look at all those?
I might go and print the best ones of all my photos….
can’t speak for everyone else. but for this soul – yes.
sorry.
(i’m sure someone has!)
haha, not me

Thanks Michelle!
It is very dense, sorry!
haha the student in me is glad there is no teacher in me
I swing between under- and over-using commas.
Sorry to hear about your computer. Did you lose many photos or much work?
Thanks again for reading

P.S. How long was that essay?

The essay was ~1800 words… felt longer though
