Jenn Musotto's Technobiography

For as long as I can remember technology has been apart of my life. I remember having one huge box-like computer in my parent's bedroom that was NOT allowed to be played with. Many times I was caught playing games on the computer as well as my younger siblings. Eventually we were given that computer in our playroom and my parents upgraded to a smaller box-like computer. I didn't know how to do much on the computer except play the games on it. In fourth and fifth grade we all were placed in computer classes to help become acquainted with the new technology, but I feel as though the teachers weren't pressed on what we learned everyday in that class. To this day, i have to look at the keyboard to type my papers or simple messages to friends through the internet. Now, having access to the internet or a computer is necessary to get by on a daily basis. I finally gave in and bought a laptop when I started at Towson because so much work was required to be done on the computer and I couldn't always be on my mom's computer. Time has changed a great deal because instead of having one computer in my house, each of my family members have one in their room, including my 13 year old brother who seems to know more about technology then myself. I also finally upgraded my phone to a Blackberry where i can access internet and my email constantly throughout the day. I always said i would never give in and get a blackberry or have internet on my phone because i didn't see the point: a phone is used to make calls to other people, not worry about the internet and email. I can truly say if anything happened to my phone I would be lost and probably wouldn't be able to function. It has become apart of my life and I need it to get me through each day!
