Metaphor for Computer Use
When Beginners use the Internet they can often run into terminology that they do not understand. Terms like: googling, furling, surfing the net, search engines, refresh, e-mail, blogging, and bookmarking. While these terms all have different meanings, beginning users may not run into all of them right away. And depending on what they use the Internet for they may not run into them at all. Even though I have used the Internet since I was about 11 years old, I still did not discover what the terms blogging or furling were until I got to college.
