Post #1- Technobiography

My experience with technology started when I was very young. When I was about four years old I took some medicine that I wasn't supposed to, I spent the next three days in the hospital getting my stomach pumped. All I remember from my hospital stay was all the machines around me. There were machines to monitor my heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and lots more. Other than that I can't remember ever needing any technology when I was young, except if wanted to watch a T.V show or someting, my favortie show was Care Bears.

As I got older and grew more independent, I started to use more technologies. I would constantly want to talk on the phone with my best friend, even though she only lived three houses down from me. My sister and I were on the phone so much that we eventually got our own phone line. I also loved to play Nintendo 64, I got one when I was about eleven years old. My sister, brother, and I would always rush home from school to play or favorite games (my favorite game was Golden Eye).

When I was fourteen years old I recieved my first cell phone for Christmas. I remember walking into school after Christmas break and feeling so cool with my new cell phone, that was until my teacher took it away for playing with it during class. I loved my cell phone because it meant I could talk to my friends as much as I wanted. Since recieving my frist cell phone over six years ago I have gone through about ten cell phones. My first cell phone I only used for phone calls, but with my cell phone now I can: text, search the web, play games, download music, e-mail, take pictures and videos, use it as my alarm clock, and make phone calls.

When I was about sixteen I got my first i-pod. This was the orginal i-pod, I could listen to music and play some games, but that was about it. I now have the i-pod touch, this i-pod allows me to listen to music, play games, search the web, e-mail, and watch videos. In four years Apple has made big advances on their i-pods.

When it was time for me to come to college I had my own car, I also recieved a brand new lap-top, my first! A new digital camera, that could also record videos, and a new t.v and d.v.d player. So, with my cell phone, i-touch, camera, lap-top, t.v, and d.v.d, I think I have all the technologies I could ever need to get me through college, and life.
