Technobiography (re-post)

My relationship with technology started much later than others in my mind. I did not recieve a game station until I was in the eight grade, but let me add that it was a Nintendo 64, while many others had Playstations at the time! We owed a typewriter, video cassette player and televisions in my household. But as I got older and technology advanced so did my family. It started with my father wanting to own every piece of technology that would make his life easier. When we recieved our first PC, my mom made me install the Mavis Beacon typing teacher software. From that point on I became a typing master and explored the world in my own living room. Technology is a great thing but I have to say my whole life is not on my laptop. Too many misfortunes have happened in which I have lost papers, pictures and sometimes my favorite games due to the break down of the software. Knowing that we would be using the computer and other technologies in this class had be pretty apprehensive. I rather be writing a paper by hand than typing a paper on the computer. Years ago we would not have all this technology and they were just fine. I just hope we do not get too dependent on technology.
