I have been around technology all my life. From listening to Peter, Paul, and Mary tapes in the car with my family to game boys, I can’t remember a time without technology surrounding me. As I grew up we got more computers, newer computers and my biggest question was which games it would come with (Bugdom is still my favorite). My family has always had Macs so I have a definitive preference for them. Over time I began using AIM, email, iphoto, itunes, etc. Exploring random programs on my computer is now something I do when I am bored.
Lately my use of technology has moved towards staying connected. The camp I work at in the summer has international staff. After nine weeks of living together non-stop we now find ourselves without each other, some the only one in their country with memories of Camp Conowingo. We use facebook, skype, and email to all keep in touch (international calling plans are far too expensive). My brother is also currently studying abroad in Florence, Italy so I need to communicate with him too. My latest technological exploration has come from playing with imovie and GarageBand to create a movie for a friend of mine. I like to try to figure out programs like that.
