Post #1 – Discuss the role technology has played in each of the following periods of your life: as an elementary student, in middle school and in high school.

I was born in 1983 and I have witnessed many changes in technology over the course of my life. Technology as an elementary student consisted of typewriters, hand held VHS video cameras, cordless phones, and cable TV. Middle school was when computers were introduced. We began with word processers that used MS-DOC (I hope I remember that correctly). We then upgraded to IMac computers that were blue. These were mostly used for programs such as Microsoft Word, as the internet wasn't too popular yet. In high school we had a computer lab with more updated computers, but again, there wasn't that much internet use. Some of the lucky students bagan to have cell phones, I didn't own my first one until college. I myself still feel that I don't know much about technology. I hope this class can help me figure some things out.
