PERCEPTION:
What do
you see in the picture to the left - a young girl or an old lady?
After you decide, show it to a grownup and ask them what they see.
There are actually TWO images - a young girl AND an old lady! Now do
you see them? Grampa
saw a young girl - I saw an old lady! Did we argue about it? No,
because we knew that it was all a matter of perception.
Perception
is simple - it's the WAY you see, hear, feel or even taste things! Pretty cool, huh? Just
because I see or hear something differently than my friend does not mean that one
of us is wrong. We are just DIFFERENT.

When I was a child (a lo-o-o-o-n-g time ago) we didn't have computers or the internet. Shucks! We didn't even have television, can you imagine? Some day I'll tell you what we used to do for entertainment & maybe more stuff about the olden days, but for right now, let's start with places to surf the net. As I find more new places I'll add them to this website.
