Technology has changed considerably during the 25 years that I served. I read extensively during my term of incarceration, but reading about technology felt a bit like reading about typing. Regardless of how much I read, I wouldn’t grasp the power of technology until I started using it. Forget the power, I don’t even understand the language of technology. For example, I never understood what people meant when they spoke of a “browser.” In fact, I just asked my wife to define a browser, and when she described it as a program that would allow me to access the Internet, I gave her a blank stare. “But I thought the browser was the little text box on top of the screen, where I type in what I’m looking to find on Google.” “No honey,” she said. “That’s the URL bar.” (via Prisons: What is it like to be exposed to new technology after a 20 year prison sentence? – Quora)
