Technology in Your Daily Life

There are so many ways I use technology today it’s countless…because technology is the present and the future. However the good thing is I was once a digital immigrant and I will never forget where I came from as far as the past. Just to name a few… I can bake with or without the timer on my oven. I can pop popcorn on the stovetop or in the microwave. I can watch TV shows on a black and white tube television or on a color 60” flat screen. I can tell time on a clock with hands or a clock with digits. I can write a paper by hand, on a typewriter, or in word processing. I know how to use a dictionary or spell check on the computer. I can play the Atari and the Wii gaming system. I can even start a fire in the fireplace or flip the switch for heat.

My cell phone awakes me by the alarm first thing in the morning and my day is filled with numerous ways to use technology. Technology flows so freely and easily in my lifestyle. The last thing I do at night is lie in bed and read from my iPad before I go to sleep.

I am truly thankful for technology. It has allowed me to successful to further my education through an online learning environment. With life changes and my busy schedule it would have never been possible to complete this journey if it wasn’t for technology. Technology holds the key to my future. Millennial students work together to solve pre-specified problems (Dr. Christopher Dede). I truly feel that as I have strived and hard to work with others to get to where I am today with technology. As I move forward with technology I know that best is yet to come.
