There are tons of things I can do now, that would have been difficult if not impossible before the internet! The only way I could do my work before was to have tons of reference materials and refer to them constantly, which would attract attention and seem odd to coworkers. Often it was just too slow and awkward, and I would be unable to accomplish things that others could do easily. This was holding me back, and I figured I just had to accept that I would be unable to compete with those freaky good-memory people! Then, when I was about 27 years old – lo and behold – I got a job where I was actually allowed to have – gasp – my own computer to use at work!!! (that was over 10 yrs ago) Now I have reference websites and pages, all bookmarked on my computer, and no-one has to know that I look up the same terminology and rules and sample letters, etc. over and over because on some days, I just can’t remember or retain a darn thing! The internet for me is like glasses for someone with bad vision.
