Rock Climbing Technology
Rock climbing is both an indoor and outdoor sport that requires stamina, endurance, and patience, primarily because it is an activity where gravity is the greatest adversary and what becomes the main objective is not to fall.
In rock climbing, an individual, whether acquainted or not acquainted to the rules of the sport, is challenged to work his or her way through the maze or series of handholds and footholds, thinking of the best strategy in which climbing can be easier and faster. In fact, there are no rigid rules in rock climbing: it is sufficient that the individual is able to come up with solutions to the problem presented to him/her -- that is, climbing given a series of small or large and unmanageable holds. Once a strategy is formed, the individual's ascent or descent to the wall or a mountain (in extreme free rock climbing) becomes easier and faster -- more efficient and enjoyable.
The challenges and excitement that rock climbing presents to the individual is the same in "exploring" the functions and features of computer systems. Working with a computer system is like working through a mountain containing numerous possible rocks as handholds and footholds. You do not know what to do first, what holds to use -- each hold presents a potential strategy that can either make climbing easier and faster or complex and daunting. In working with computers, it is the most basic necessity to acquaint one's self with the commands and functions of these commands in a program. However, once this initial step has been accomplished, it is now up to the user to utilize these commands and functions to suit his/her needs. Just like in rock climbing, working with computer systems requires intelligent and effective manipulation of its functions and commands; otherwise, the user's task will become complex and daunting.
