Module #15: Google Calendar

I've tried using Google Calendar occasionally in the past. I've probably used Yahoo calendar more. I don't like the way email is "nested" in Google so I use Yahoo for my personal email, despite having a Gmail account.

The younger generation seems so comfortable doing everything super-fast in an online environment. I'm still used to using calendars on paper. There's something to be said for paper: you can leaf through till you find the right spot more easily sometimes than you can by scrolling & clicking. I can probably do more online than some Baby Boomers (I'm always amazed by the people who are entirely resistant to using computers) but still feel at a distinct disadvantage sometimes.

That may date from my early days working on computers and word processors (think: early '80s) when it was very easy to mess everything up, lose documents, etc. I still worry about deleting things by mistake, screwing up machines, etc.

I shared my Google calendar with 23 Things.
