11.1.1) Why should I use a computer? (ucd.king-hall)
It is easier and faster to accomplish many tasks by using a computer.
11.1.1.1) Do I really need to use a computer? (ucd.king-hall)
No. You don't need to use a computer, but many tasks are very
difficult or even impossible to accomplish without a computer. You
will also find that a modicum of computer literacy is required of all
members of the King Hall community.
11.1.1.2) Isn't it difficult to learn how to use a computer? (ucd.king-hall)
No. Learning to use a computer is very easy, but this is a very well
kept secret. People who are familiar with computers are very
intimidating to people who do not know how to use computers.
11.1.1.3) How can I get the computer training that I need? (ucd.king-hall)
Admit your ignorance, both to yourself and to the people who offer you
help. Teaching people how to use computers is extremely difficult,
but it doesn't have to be that way. Many people erroneously assume
that they understand how computers work, and this makes teaching these
people extremely difficult. Of course, people who know what they are
doing may not be able to communicate with you or they may not be
interested in helping you. Avoid these people.
11.1.1.4) What practical uses would I have for a computer as a law student? (ucd.king-hall)
Most law students find that using a computer for word processing is
much easier than typing a paper. Moreover, most law firms use
WordPerfect and demand that their associates be familiar with
WordPerfect. While word processing is not the only application for
computers, it is easily the most common and most popular (second only
to computer games). Once you become familiar with word processing,
however, you may want to stop by a store that sells software and do
some window shopping.
