As far as I remember technology was always around me growing up but was not really aware of it enough to remember all of the details. I do remember when I was very young, I always listened to the radio or cassette tapes. Also I always watched movies from a VHS. I do remember that when we went on vacation, we had to put film into a camera and then bring the film into a store to get developed when we got back from vacation. Another thing about technology that I remember from when I was youger was the video camera. The video cameras were huge and we had to place a normal size vhs into the camera to record. As far as computers go, I feel that I got a computer in my house for the first time when I was in second grade. However we got our internet through dial up which was very slow and used AOL. We connected through dial up for many years, I think until I was in highschool. However, I did have an opportunity to learn how to type when I was in first grade. Occasionally my class was allowed to go to the computer room and type up some writing assignments we had.
As I got older, I remember technology changing. listening to music slowly swtiched to cds and watching movies swtiched to dvds. I remember I got my first cell phone when I was 16 when KI started to drive. The cell phone was a basic cell phone and all I was able to do was make a call and text. Now a cellphone can take pictures, videos, record sounds, go on the internet and even have touch screen. Also, as I got older video cameras started to get smaller by recording it on a smaller tape and photos were starting to be taken by a digital camera. Computers were getting more programs and highspeed internet was becoming more popular. Televisions were getting smaller and became flat screens. Currently, technology is still constantly changing. Blu ray dvds are becoming more popular as well as ordering a movie on demand. People are now recording tv shows by using DVR instead of VCRS.
I feel that techology has changed drastically throughout the 21 years of my life, and will continue to do so in the future.
