For as long as I can remember, technology has been a part of my life. I can still remember when we had a computer running Windows 3.1 on a desk in the corner of the dining room. When everything was simpler I knew everything about computers. I would help the teachers in middle school when they had problems. Then technology caught up to me. It can be frustrating sometimes knowing that I could do any task imaginable when I was twelve years old, but now that I'm twenty I don't know how to use so many popular programs. I guess I know how my mom felt back when I was twelve.
(Just as a side note, I just saw a commercial for a cell phone powered by Google. Remember when Google was just a search engine and nothing more?)
When I graduated from middle school my parents bought me a PDA. Everyone thought I was so cool with the touch screen and stylus pen. It didn't have wifi or a decent video player - but it had a color screen and ran on Windows. I bought a wireless keyboard and in high school took notes on it. My teachers thought the keyboard was so cool that they didn't even tell me to put it away. Now I guess I'm pretty much just like anyone else when it comes to technology. I know enough to make my presentations look good. I spend a lot of time in Powerpoint and Movie Maker for my job in undergraduate marketing and I get better in Movie Maker every time I use it.
