Josh Weeks- Technobiography

Sorry this is so late in coming. In keeping with the technology trend, I changed internet service providers and Verizon's date of service starting isn't until the end of next week. My school that I work at has a filter that prevents any blogging sites, and I finally just had to hit my local library up at the right time for a computer. Oh well...
Anyways, I can remember using technology all the way back to elementary school. Back then, it was a privelage to be able to use the computer lab during specials or before or after school. The games I remember playing were things like LOGO, Reader Rabiit, The Oregon Trail, and Commander Keen. I still think its funny when I now see the reincaranations of alot of those franchises. When I used computers and technology back in grade school, they were still the green screens with DOS where you had to hit a command prompt like keen.exe. I remember clearly using technology in my education and for some leisure growing up though.
I never had a true gaming system until I got a Game Gear. My friends always had a playstation or Genesis, etc, while I usually was a little more late to the party. My parents made me read a certain amount before I could play video games, too. I still thank them for that. I still love reading, though I can't say that I don't enjoy my gaming as well.
I use technology every day and am always looking for the next greatest gadget. I usually wait for the prices to drop, though. The onloy technology out there that I don't use is texting. I just think its impersonal and meanings can be misconstrued in texting. I use Skype though to talk with friends and family, use alot of technology in my teaching, and am always looking to get better and more familiar with the latest trends in technology.
