Introductory Post

How has technology changed my life?

Hard to say. Most of my life I have been surrounded by digital technology. In elementary school, my mom worked in the computer lab. Granted I didn't get my first cell phone until after I graduated high school, but they were always around me.

I suppose I would have to say technology has changed my life in that it makes day-to-day activities easier (communicating with friends/family, keeping up on current shows/movies, locating an archived journal I wrote four years ago, accessing articles and books, etc.). Nothing revolutionary; but then again I guess I was born after said revolution, so perhaps that's a tad privileged. :)

What types of technology do you currently use daily/weekly?

I use a smart phone, iPad, laptop, and desktop daily. Ideally, I also use a washing machine weekly.

What is one technology you could not live without?

Blenders - I love smoothies. (Haha)
Seriously, I would have to say that I could survive without any of my devices on a daily basis. However, as a person who lives 3000 miles from what I consider home, I don't think I could survive long term without a speedy and reliable way to contact friends and family long distance. I wouldn't say it has to be Skype or FaceTime, but something a little more modern than the US Postal Service and less silly than SnapChat.
