Introduction written by Judi McWilliams
Ontario Visited - Part 1
During high school, I was fortunate to have had “Typing 101” as my introduction to what today are computers. I had an amazing teacher who encouraged the students by supplying the “fastest typing row of students” with a large Laura Secord Chocolate Bar. I became so fast at typing that the other students in the class fought to sit in my row, because they knew I was going to win the competition and they would receive the chocolate bar too. In college, my two year course was called “Computer Science”. I called it a glorified secretary course, (secretaries now referred to as Executive Assistants). Back in the day, typewriters used ribbons, hand pushed return handles, black carbon paper, rice paper copies and more. During college, we progressed to what I would liken to an “x-ray” type of memory. It was an unprotected piece of flat “x-ray like” item inserted into the “computer”. We had to share this memory stick with the entire class. Back in the day, I could type (correctly) about 96 words per minute. I wonder today, if “spell check” would correct any errors and make me even faster? Today, of course, there are clouds, chips, discs, and items I can’t even begin to comprehend. Technology though, is what is keeping Ontario Visited and our various websites “linked” to our visitors and organizers of the fantastic festivals and events throughout Ontario
