You're doing all right without one? There's news for you then. It's a little agonizing, too. Your kids are going to learn how to operate one in computer training classes in some Portland public schools at elemen tary level (say, at Tubman); others will be learning at high school (say, Jefferson) and now, at Portland State. Back at Western Michigan University every student will learn to operate a computer before the university will graduate h im /her. They call it "computer literacy.” Com puter literacy means that your children will be learning a new language with the new skill — kids learn it quickly—and where will you be if you can't understand what he/she is saying?

IB M has its own show and its own soft ware (that's the equipment that makes your compu ter yours personally), and IBM soft ware is "menu"-driven (that means they are titled so you don't have to have computer knowledge to select the job you want). "Young people should definitely be aware of work possibilities for themselves. You can buy computers from me, or Sears, or dozens of places. They are a springboard for travel, employment and satisfaction for the rest of your lives,” Smith said. Valerie is a 1972 graduate of Pur due University in Clinical Speech and Audiology with a minor in mathematics. She never worked with patients or clients in either of these fields but went into retail man agement with Sears in San Diego and managed their ladies* fashions, jewelry and china departments in turn.
