I wasn't really introduced to technology for quite some time now that I think about it. We didn't have a computer for a while, and the house I lived in still had a rotary telephone that you had to spin to "dial" numbers. It wasn't until we moved into a new home and I attended a new school that I began to discover different elements of technology. When we moved into my step dad's house, it was like I stepped into a completely modern home. He had portable telephones and two computers, and he set me up with my own e-mail. My step dad works with computers for a living (he's a computer technician for an insurance company) so I've been surrounded by technological talk ever since I met him.
We had computer time every week in school and I took a course on Microsoft Word and PowerPoint in 7th grade, the year I received my first cell phone. I took a class on how to use Photoshop in 11th grade and got my own laptop as my 12th grade graduation present. While I've had about five different cell phones, the most technologically advanced phone has only been able to text and take pictures. I've had a video iPod since 12th grade but have never owned any other Apple product, although I used Macs for class in high school. My dad has always been a Windows fan for some reason, so that's a we've ever had in our house. He's also a huge video game fan, though, so we have a Play Station 2, X Box 360, and Wii.
It's been pretty interesting to see all the progress that has been made with technology, but I wouldn't say I'm 100 percent dependent on it. I love my iPod, phone, and laptop, but I don't use them all every day. Even with the experience I've had, I wouldn't say I'm anything close to being an expert.
