Technology Prioritization

Of all the technologies I use on a daily basis, I would not be able to live without my laptop and my cell phone. Technology can be understood in the simplest terms as techniques for making and doing things (Bussell, 2006). My laptop is used to perform my daily job duties. By being the administrator assistant of a school I have many tasks that I use my laptop for. Mostly it is use for data entry for the students of our school. There is also a security button place on the desk top of the computer. I am to click the button if we have any trouble in the school. This will contact the campus police immediately. This service is a must when you never know what may happen in your school.

I stay connect with my family and friends on a daily basis with my cell phone. First thing in the morning, I text my children. I can not live without my cell phone. Smart phones are wonderful. Not only can I communicate with family and friends, but I can also post things on my social networking sites to stay connected with family and friends far away. Facebook and Instagram are my two favorites. Facebook allows me to post status, pictures, and or messages and they can be seen immediately. This is great way for my mom and me to stay in contact as she lives on the other side of the world. It makes our communication so much easier.  I just recently create an Instagram account.  This account was created on my phone and I use it from the convenience from my phone… A very neat way to take pictures and track them among a group of people that share the same hash tag. We as a school uses this app to take pictures of our students to consolidate for the school’s yearbook.

I never really knew the history of technology. Technology started so long ago and it was great to read and learn the history of technology and it's beginning of time.
