My Technobiography

My first memory of technology was when I was about five or six on Christmas morning. My parents got 3 computers for me and my two sisters. When I was that young, computers were obviously not as fast and innovative as they are now. Being so young all I used the computer for was playing games. My parents bought me and my sisters computer games that were educational but also fun. Those games would keep us occupied for hours. As I got older I was introduced to AOL where I created my first screen name. I was able to keep in touch with my friends on the weekends and after school.

As I got older, technology started entering my life in more ways than just the computer. I was given my first cell phone in 7th grade. It was a simple, black Motorola phone that could just receive and make phone calls. I have had many cell phones since my first cell phone in 7th grade. Right now, I have the Verizon LG enV2. This phone can do much more than just make and receive phone calls. It has texting, the Internet, music, a camera and is able to send and receive picture messages. My phone has basically become another part of me. I'm always on it texting my friends or family to keep in touch. My iPod has also become a very big part of my life. I love listening to music and carrying around my iPod instead of a Walkman or a CD player is so much more convenient. Having all of your songs all in one place rather than carrying around each individual CD and those bulky head phones and CD player is more suitable.

Being in college now, technology has become even more important in my life. I wouldn't be able to live without my laptop here at school. I use it for everything; keeping in touch with my family and friends, research, homework, listening to music and writing papers. Technology plays a different but also important part in everyone's life.
