My Technobiography

Technology, whether we realize it or not, has been a part of our everyday life since before we can remember. The first time that I remember using technology for a learning purpose would be somewhere around the 1st grade. I would be playing computer math games teaching me my adding and subtracting. As I grew up internet entered my life in the version of a slow AOL dial-up. I remember using the internet as a way to communicate with my friends, play many different games that were on the internet, and send e-mails. I quickly became very accustomed to the way that the internet works.



As years past, technology became more prominent in everyday life. When I reached middle school I began to use the phone a lot more. I would use it just to talk to my friends to see what they were doing. I had always wanted my own phone line, but my parents never budged. It wasn't until the 8th grade when I got my first cell phone. I still remember it to this day, a big, bulky, non flip phone, with a black and white screen. All I could do on it was make phone calls. Now, I have the EnV2, which allows me to text, take videos, take pictures, send picture messages and so much more.

There was also the invention on the iPod which made listening to music on the go, much lighter and easier. The first iPod that I had was a green iPod Nano. I loved my iPod because now instead of having to carry around a big CD player and each individual CD, you just have one thing to carry around, it was a place for all of your music to be stored without having to carry it all around with you.
Now that I am in college technology is a very important part of my life. I use my lap top everyday, to check my e-mail, talk to my friends, go on the internet and of course type papers. Technology is an ever changing aspect of our life. From desktops to lap tops, CD's to iPods, VHS's to DVD's; who knows what the future holds for technology.
