Maybe two? Got »teak under
the broiler or a chicken in the pot?
And a T. V.?— Well, now you need a
computer, a personal computer in
your home. If you are in business,
you probably have one there
already.
You say you don't need a compu
ter? 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? Or doing? College
professors are having to scramble,
loo, to keep up with their students.
Never fear. According to Valerie
Webb Smith, who sells computers
for IB M , there are storefront com
puter outlets scattered around the
city. Smith suggests you saunter into
one and spend an hour. "Ask ques
tions and play with o n e ,” says
Smith. " T e ll the salesperson that
you are just looking, or looking to
buy (tomorrow, next month or next
year). They're handy. You can do
your bill paying, keep tax records,
keep track of everybody's b irth
days, their anniversaries, or that
new recipe you fixed with such suc
cess last week
" I predict," Smith says with con
fidence, " th a t every business that
survives the '80s will have some sort
of data processing, and that, by
1990. every home will have a com
puter. You k n o w ,” Smith con
tinues, "there are free classes and
free seminars— probably one every
month in this area, and after about
I ’4 hours you can actually run a
computer. 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.
