So I'm not sure if having technology advancing in such a short amount of time is scary to many people or not. Or even if people have stopped and actually thought, why is it that technology has advanced so fast? I don't know about anyone else but when i think about how technology has changed how this world thinks and acts, it scares the crap out of me.
Well to tell you guys a little more about myself and how technology entered into my life. Well I'm a 1988 baby and the first computer that i first saw was in my elementary school in Seattle, WA. I had never touched one or played with one until 5th grade when I had to stay in an after-school program. In that after-school program they had us playing games on the computer like Math Blaster and other kid games. I remember that i would have such a hard time figuring out how to work that machine. Well to quickly flash forward through my life in middle school 6-8th grade, I still had a type-writer at home to write my 1-2 page essays for school. (Did anyone else use a type-writer for school?) Well I remember that in 8th grade is when a lot of my friends had computers at home and were IMing each other all the time. I hope people still remember what IMing was/is, but if you don't know what IMing was it was Instant Messaging on AOL which it is exactly like FaceBook Chatting or what is now TEXTING. So during that time that my friends were IMing each other and were able to surf the Internet on their dial-up, I was still living a life with just TV, radio and a home land-line (where you had to memorize all your friends and families phone numbers, which now I can only remember my mom's, brother's and boyfriend's cellphone number.) So finally High School came and my freshmen year I made sure that I signed up for a computer typing class because I did not want to be the only one that did not know how to type or use a computer. So basically that is how it started out and I finally got a cell phone when I was a Junior which it may be shocking to the many of you but that was in 2005-2006. And since then I have been hooked to being on a computer. Even though I am always late on what is "in and new" I have been hooked on the technology line and cant free myself from it.
So if anyone wants to share how they got hooked to technology leave a comment, I would love to hear your story! :)
Haha well...i don't remember exactly WHEN i got hooked onto technology but i do know that i really enjoyed having my own laptop when i was in 8th grade and after that i loved messing around with the programs, and settings, getting used to all the different popular websites like Google, becoming really fast at typing. I used to even have my own blog since i have loved journaling since i was a young kid :) I always had to know the newest technology coming out, and always getting the latest ipod and phone :)
