Why is my computer not moving away from me in an expanding universe?

[Andy_Electron]

Hi

Im new here so please be kind .
I just wondered, since we live in an "expanding" universe, why is my computer not moving away from me as i type this message? Light from most of the stars/galaxies in the sky is redshifted so they are moving away from me (or so I am told), why not my computer? Is it because my computer is actually moving away from me, but just very slowly or have a completely missed the point and not understood the concept of an expanding universe (i think this is probably the case).
Just so you know how to gauge your response, I am an A Level student (UK) and I am going to University this year to study Physics.

Thanks for any help you can give me and remember I am new so don't be too harsh when you tell me i don't have a clue about Physics .

Andy
