My first real encounter with technology was in the second grade. My elementary school had one computer lab. We were learning the proper way to type. I did not like it at first because it seemed awkward and I felt I could just write faster with a pencil. Then it became like a competition against my friends to see who could type more words per minute. I used these skills for many years and still do today. I used this to type up book reports until high school where I really learn more.
In ninth greade I took a class where I became familiar with microsoft office. These programs have helped me with school and work. I got my first cell phone around then as well. I would say that I have not exposed myself to much technology in my lifetime. Recently I purchased a GPS and Blackberry cell phone. I love them and i am definatly interested in finding out more about technology and how Ican use it to my advantage.
