Technobiography

I am not really a tech person at all. It's not that I don't like technology; I love how easy it has made many things, and how fun. It's more that I don't have the time or patience to learn how to use all the technology around me. And some of it I just never saw the appeal of, like video games, although my boyfriend is trying to change my mind about that. When I was young, technology wasn't readily available to me. We eventually got a computer, when I was six or so, but mostly for my Dad to do work on. We had very limited access to it, and when we were on, it was only for educational purposes. Although I must say that doing school on the computer was much more exciting than doing it on paper. The very first computer game that I can remember playing and loving was Organ Trail. Other than that, there was little technology offered to me in my home during my elementary school years. As I got into high school, things began to shift, as it was expected for all assignments to be typed, and all students to be able to use a computer comfortably. Now, I enjoy a reasonable amount of success when working with technology, but I still get frustrated when I can't get something to work, and I still don't understand half of what people say when they start talking about technology. Hopefully, as I continue to be submerged more and more into this culture of technology, I will be picking up more and more. I do want to learn more about it, because anything that can make my life easier is well worth the effort.
