I really don’t remember using the computer for much more than making and copying c.d.'s before high school. Even in high school, I really only used the computer to make c.d.’s and to write papers. I didn’t have a personal computer in high school and I have four siblings plus a mother who loves technology so getting to the computer was a trial. I saw the computer as a wonderful and mysterious thing that works of it’s own accord.
My relationship with technology changed when I left for college. I got a laptop and learned to enjoy exploring on it. However, I was utilizing my computer mainly for writing papers because as a History major I wrote plenty of them. I did eventually get an iPod and a digital camera, both of which I can use in the most basic of senses. Through various classes and campus jobs I learned how to use the Microsoft functions, including Excel, PowerPoint, etc.
I still see my computer as a mysterious thing that works because it wants to, and I just let it do whatever it wants. Despite that, I really could not live without my computer, my iPod touch (yes I did advance from my original iPod after a few years), and my cell phone.
