Since birth the technology that I can say I had a relationship with in my house were tv's, telephones, vcr's, and tape players. Since I grew up with these devices when I was around the first grade age i was capable of using these devices on my own, and know how to properly use them. When I was around the second or third grade the entire class was taking a computer class in order to learn how to use desktops and solve problem and write the answers on the computer. All the kids liked this because when we were finished our assignment we were allowed to use the computer to our own liking, which just meant that we would all play the computer games. Around the age of 10 or 11 my parents also bought the first computer for the house. Which i really did not know much about, except, to play games and log on to the internet I do not think that i took a technology class unitl about 8th grade, and in the class we used the computers to calculate formulas and build new things. Also, when i was in the 8th grade is when my family finally got our first cell phone. The phone was so big and fat at the time but, my brother and i were always playing with it trying to figure out how it worked. It was not until probably my high school years that technology really started to play a role in my life and the new "Gotta have it" things for society. Eventually we got dvd players, a lap top, more cell phones. And around my senior year they came out with mp3 players and ipods. I also got an ipod and my own laptop. To this day to me my cell phone now has got to be the object of technology that i use most, on my phone I can record video's, listen to the radio, watch current programs from channels from the television, surf the web, find my way with its built in gps system, have my email sent directly to my phone, go shooping on my phone, play games, play back music like an mp3, and find out the weather and news. I feel as though technology grows it is becoming more and more easier to have everything at arms lenghth, and even though i may not always technology i am forced to learn how it works and use it.
