RE: Techno-fuddyduddy getting anxious

Those sites are both good for learning about the technology. If anyone's
interested in learning the computer science behind the technology, I
recently saw a recommendation for Stanford Engineering Everywhere
(http://see.stanford.edu/), which features free courses like Computer
Science 101 (http://www.cs101-class.org/).

Nancy, if you want to pick up the skills (knowing how), then you need to
get your hands on the technology. However, if you just want the
knowledge (knowing that) you can pick up a lot reading tech blogs and
forums. 

BBC Click
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/click_online/default.stm) is a
good zero-background-experience starter place; read it for a couple of
months and you'll slowly start to get a gist of what's going on in the
non-fuddyduddy world. 

Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/) is for the more advanced, but if
you're a good reader and a quick learner, it will get you up to speed on
the cutting edge of stuff. 

I'd recommend reading both each day. Bit like learning a foreign
language, at first it'll make no sense, but after a few months you'll be
telling other people stuff they didn't know.... :-)
