My Technobiography

My first computer experience that I can recall was around age six. At this age, I had a strong passion for horseback riding. I attending camps and had weekly lessons. My parents decided my hobby was going to become a huge part in my life--not just a phase. For Christmas, they decided to give me my very own computer game. The game was Barbie Horseback riding Club. I started to realize the responsibility of owning a horse. Acting as Barbie, I would have to wash,brush,feed walk, etc. the horse. At the same time, I was getting to know how to use the computer. I slowly got comfortable with the mouse and keyboard.
At about age thirteen I had moved on from my horse phase. I had become more interested in my social life. When this came about, I had my parents create me a screen name on AOL. AOL helped me to learned about online chatting, websites, and Google. In school I was also learning more in the computer lab.
Now in college, I cannot live without my labtop. It has become a necessity. I have written many papers using Word. I am knowledgable in powerpoint to make a presentation. I still keep in touch with my social side. I have moved away from AOL but I go on facebook daily. When I took ISTC 201, it was actually one hundred percent online. College classes incooperate the computer with every lesson.
My social life does not stop at just the computer. My other must-have technology is my cell phone. I have the Verizon Voyager. I am constantly texting friends. And of course I call my close friends and family to have personal talks.
I could not imagine my life technology free. I go day to day relying on the popular technologies in America.
