Shelly Guy

I have always been very interested in new advances in Technology. Both of my parents are engineers who have quite a bit of experience with computers, considering they work with them every day. So I guess my parents have played quite a big role in keeping me up to date with the latest computer technology.

I remember the first time I had ever been on a computer. I had often watched my dad play computer solitaire and some cool piloting games using a joystick, when I was little. Then my world really opened up when my sister got a computer for Christmas one year, and we were both fascinated with it. We would do a bit of exploring on the web, like googling our names and pictures of animals we liked, and then we learned how to IM.

I also remember using computers in school, and playing fun math and reading games. I finally got my own computer when I was in Middle School, but I still wasn't very experienced with all of the tools that were available to me.

After taking a few computer classes in high school, I became much better at typing and at using the basic Microsoft programs; including, word, excel, and powerpoint.

Finally, my junior year in High School, I got a cell phone. But, it wasn't until my Freshman year of college that I got texting. I felt like the outcast because, I was the only one of my friends who didn't have texting at that time!

I now have a cell phone, laptop, mp3 player, printer, tv, dvd player, and gps
