Have you looked up instructions for DIY projects on the internet? Someone recently told me about a great way to cook Iowa corn on the cob in the microwave before husking. She said it cooks beautifully, and the husks and silk wipe clean eliminating the unpopular step of husking. “Just look on You-Tube. There’s a tutorial with an old man who walks you through the process.” I found a great recipe for meat-stuffed jalapenos, wrapped in bacon and glazed with honey and Bar-b-que. When someone asked me for the recipe – I went to the website, printed the recipe and passed it to her. I volunteer sorting books at the Hope Ministries Bargain Center. We can’t give a set of encyclopedias away – they go into the re-cycle bin. Who needs a set of books when you can “google” the topic and have the info in nano-seconds. Home-made bombs in mailboxes – now that’s the ugly information available on You Tube. Infomation on how to hack accounts, how to steal, how to trick Grandma into sending a check to help her favorite grandchild (or so she thinks…) in a precarious predicament. That is the dark side to the infomation highway. The ability to send X-Rated emails to your lover from the work computer and receiving the instant gratification of the illlicit response. Character counts. And what we do when we think no one is looking reveals our true character.Have you looked up instructions for DIY projects on the internet?
