THE THEMES

My goodness! We pack a lot of true friendship and responsible technology use thematics into 38 pages...

Anxiety is natural (but seeking out good friends can be a big help with that)

The importance of getting good help (e.g. our friend Ellen "the Floppy Disk Girl")

Garbage in, garbage out (GIGO)

Bad things can happen if we are not really really careful, Be mindful during technology use - including Identity theft!

Technology first and foremost is about problem-solving, about reaching a defined goal or visualized outcome.

Don't overthink things by looking for complicated solutions.

Seek out good friends and good help.

Expect the unexpected.

Make constructive use of the resources that you have available to you - but don't go stealing any rockets.

Explore cautiously.

Follow the path of least resistance. For example, in the story, Ziggy the poodle finds much easier (and safer) solutions to well-defined problems.

Enjoy pleasant company while being productive.

Protect yourself from identity theft and other forms of cyber skullduggeries with strong passwords.
