I feel technology didn't start making sense until college. During my middle school days I was forced to have a cell phone due to my commute to school. If I could count how many times I accidentally changed the language to something other than english I would be rich. I became nervous every time I had to type or go near a commuter. While all my other friends had the latest gadgets, phones, laptops, and even music players. I was content with m same big nokia.
My last year of high school was my turning point. I realized that in order to stay organized, apply for colleges, research schools and things online i needed to be updated with technology. Once I received my first HP which was bigger than me I couldn't stop. I wanted every technology I could get my hands on. I created excuses and reasons for each of them and how they made my life easier and better. At 25 years old age I feel that their are still things I do not know about technology but Im willing to lean. Technology is a key to another portal or way of life. Technology is cool and difficult at the same time. However if patient it can be a asset to all.

What is Psychoacoustics?
As defined by wikipedia.com "Psychoacoustics is the scientific study of sound perception. More specifically, it is the branch of science studying the psychological and physiological responses associated with sound (including speech and music). It can be further categorized as a branch of psychophysics."
Psychoacoustics is a way to use sound to study the human nervous system. Last semester I took a course of appreciation for the arts. During this course each student grouped up with another set of students and presented something related to the readings. One of the groups presented a presentation on how music can be used in a number of ways. They showed a video that was taken in a nursing home with a patient listening to music. When the headphones were placed on the patient he sang all the words moved and so fourth. However when the music was not being played the patient was unresponsive and un-mobile. That was the most amazing thing I had even seen. Now knowing what Psychoacoustics is I believe that was a great example of the effect of music.
