I guess it would have to be the fact that I have nothing to fear but fear itself. Computers are like bikes.
I was scared to death of learning to ride bike, but I came to find freedom in the learning, and in the riding. I have learned that there is sense of freedom in my ability to work with computers now. It really is about trusting. Maybe I will not remember everything I learned right off the top of my head, but i know that it is in me somewhere, and just like after a long break from riding a bike, and the ride being a little wobbly at first, in time it will be smooth. It will be all the more easier to move forward now to learn and explore what lies inside the world of computers.
On the other hand, or another thought, or coming out of left field, I would say that if there were no computers necessary for me tomorrow or next week, or next year, I'd be happy to walk away, and not look back.
That is a very nice comparison, learning to ride a bike. I wasn't afraid as much as I was happy with what I knew about computers. I discovered that they are more intricately connected to the world now than I had at once thought. I'm glad, now, to have learned more skills on the computer. I think, too, as you said, they will be there if I do need them in the future.
