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.
It was funny to read your story about changing the language on your phone. It was good that you finally caught on the benefits of technology: technology is all around is, not being able to use is only going to hinder us from everyday life.
ReplyDeleteAlso, at the speed that technology is advancing we are always going to feel a little bit behind. But I guess that is fine, as long we are learning and keep moving forward, there is no real need to be at the front of technology all the time.
