technological experience

What is my technological history? I can remember the day my father came home with this boxy looking object that he plugged in. I remember thinking to myself how boring, im going to go play Nintendo. Little did I know that that boxy object would become a huge part of my life as a student. It wasn’t until maybe the third grade that I realized computers had games. Before the computer I was mainly old school, listening to rock and roll with my pops, and yes I did have a teddy ruxpin, but I don’t know if he was really my best friend or if he was just saying that. When the internet became more widely available, I found myself playing around teaching myself various things. Eventually in school we had to take computer test, typing classes, and writing your papers in word. Now in college the computer is everything to me. I would be utterly lost without it. I totally moved away from going to the library and doing most of everything online. The computer offers me entertainment and any educational information. As a student it is important to stay in contact with teachers and students, which I mainly do through e-mail. As a student, if I didn’t have the computer or the internet I wouldn’t know where to start, which may come off as pathetic, but that’s just the way I was taught to do everything. This is a trend that has been growing for a while, for example most kids when they see a math problem they don’t pull out a pencil and pad, but pull out a calculator. Our experiences today are built around technology.
