My daughter, Anne, called for advice yesterday. What a nice surprise to find that even after your children leave the nest they still value your input. Here is her dilemma:
She has an opportunity to pursue a long-time dream to learn how to blow glass. (Where the desire came from I am not sure.) The art is not easily (or inexpensively) learned as it requires a blast furnace and various tools and materials unique to the craft. The course costs $500. The problem is that a whole glass of water recently baptized her laptop so that it now may hum and sputter but will need revival or a replacement. Since Anne is fresh out of college and working at her first “real” job and being initiated into the work-a- day world of bills and premiums and repairs and utilities it comes down to a new computer or glass blowing class.
So, in light of recent posts about the encroaching digital world, what do you think? Should she do the class and live without a computer? Is it possible to live without a computer in this day and age?
