Solution Effect, Digital Experts, Our Company, Our People

The first time I sat down at a desktop computer, I was two years old, and I was immediately addicted. Even as a two year old, I learned that this “box” was something that could do for me things I had never done before. It could show me things I had never seen before. And so I learned–first to play, and then how to make it work. And I have been doing that ever since.

With the knowledge of computers over the years, I have won many trophys, and recognician, and earned a lot of money, but I think the thing that computers do the most, and in large part why I like them so much, is what they do for people. While many might argue this point, and certainly there have been many days, when I wanted to kill this “box”. When they work, they take a burden off, and they make life easier–for people. When they don’t work, they have saddled people with tremendous burden–to learn something difficult for them–and something they have little time for. And that has give my life purpose to a degree. I have found great reward in doing what now comes easy for me to help people to cross a bridge that is difficult for them. And I find great reward in that.
