Women's Rights & Issues

Crashed for a 3 hour nap and upon awakening told hubby I was pleased to be able to make the post at all, but irritated at the roadblocks. He hauled me off to his computer and showed me a modern wonder: a chatbot search program that pulled everything up in a flash — all the newspaper articles about the revolution, more articles about the scandal of the damaged kids in the “orphanages,” absolutely everything I remembered, and all with live links. I still have not gone searching through the emails he sent me before I left to make dinner.

Wow. I was floored.

As a former teacher, he said oh yes this is a nightmare for teachers trying to get students to learn to write papers — but for people like you it’s great.

I asked if I could use this on my own, and it turns out I will have to ask him to get me in each time, as the company he works for has a special license (with Microsoft I think) to protect all of his company’s info as his IT unit uses this tool. In other words, going into the woods by myself may result in too much personal info being scooped up from my iPad.

Sorry I’m too excited, but over the past 22 years I’ve counted on being able to do quick searches to confirm and cite what I already have a grounding in — and for whatever reasons the changes in technology have made it harder and slower for me over the past couple of years. This could be very cool.
