Technological+Biography

=__//Technologial Biography//__= One day when I was a wee little lad about the age of 6 I got my first source of technology. I remember waking up on January 13th 1998 ready to take on what the day was going to bring to me. I was hoping it would be a good day seeing as how it was my birthday. I jumped out of my bed to a delicious breakfast prepared by my mom. As the day went on it got better. All my family started to get to my house and it was time for cake. After cake it was time to open presents my favorite time of the day. The first present I opened was my own Sega Genesis along with my first game batman. I was so excited I didn’t even open the rest of my presents I just had my dad hook it up so I could platy it. Some other sources of technology I got were a new bike when I was 8. I also got a new a T.V from my grandparents for Christmas when I was 9. The person in my family I find most technological literate is my father. My dad is very knowledgeable in mechanics as well as wood working. He has made me very knowledgeable in those categories as well. It all started when I was a little boy and my chain broke on my bike. My dad was the one that helped me as well as teach me how to fix it. My dad also let me help him make oak molding for our whole house. As I got older my dad let me become more involved with his household projects as well as yard work. When I was about 13 years old my dad started teaching me how do oil changes and work on carburetors. By the time I was 14 my dad had gained some trust in me and started teaching me how to drive. He would let me move the cars around or hook up the boat and let me move it. Yes, I do believe that technology has a very big impact on my life as well as everyone else’s. New technological advances are popping up all over the modern world. In sports, in phones and even in school. Some technological capabilities that I depend on are my phone, my car and all the way down to my sports equipment. My cell phone affects my social life because that’s how my parents contact me along with my friends. If I didn’t have a cell phone then my life would be different. I probably wouldn’t be as informed and I wouldn’t be able to get a hold of anyone. My car is a big impact on my technological life because without my car I wouldn’t be able to get around as easy. Another technological advanced item that has changed my life is my football pads. My pads have helped me be protected from a lot of injuries such as concussions and broken bones. I have got my share of injuries in football but my football pads have made a big difference in the seriousness of the injury. To be technological literate is to know the new technology as well as knowing how to use it. You become technological literate through your surroundings as well as your friends and family. If you are not around a lot of the new technology then you will not know how to use it or be able to keep up in the modern world. I myself am in the middle of an “early adopter” and a “late adopter.” I put myself in this category because although I do know how to use most of the modern technology I do not have a lot in my possession. I have a computer on my desk in order to get my home work done and for communication purposes. I do carry on me technology as well. I have my cell phone on me at all times and I also have my calculator for school purposes. · Chevy Avalanche · Lap top · New snowboard · Cell phone I think that some technologies that would be able to benefit some of my class mates are computers as well as cell phones
