Andrea Hash's Technobiography

Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by technology. My father is a system administer, so he works with computers. My mother is a manager of an Information Technology (IT) shop for a large government agency. Both my parents have to remain current in the fields of technology so I have really been surrounded by it since birth. We have had computers in our home since I was born. I also have grown up with televison. As a very young child, my favorite thing to do was watch Barney so televison is in my earliest memories. As I got older, I have seen technology improve in many different ways. My family has gone through many computers, each of them even more advanced then the one before. Each member of my family has a laptop and we also have a desktop computer that the whole family uses. The same can be said with our televisions, we have gotten better ones each time. I have also seen our movie collection go from VHS tapes to DVDs and now blueray discs. The same can be said for music, I have seen our family go through tapes to CDs to MP3s. Each member of our family has some type of an IPod.

When I turned 16, I got my first cell phone. It was pretty basic in that it was a flip phone and I could call people. I did not text or take pictures with the phone. Now, I am 21 and I am on my 4th different phone. It is a touch screen and I use it to text, get on the web, and take pictures. In a pretty short time I have went from not knowing much about phones to being pretty confident with my skills. As I have gotten older, technology has made big changes. My family and I have done our best to stay current with technology.
