Ironically
enough, when I was very young, I was never really surrounded by much
technology. I lived in Jamaica for some time and not even Nintendo made its way
to the small island. Outdoors and nature
had always fascinated me during that time and for the most part I actually
enjoyed it. It wasn’t until much later that I moved to the US and that is when I
became engrossed in technology.
It became a
part of who I was growing up. If I couldn’t have access to a computer or some
kind of up to date technology I felt like I was left behind. Thanks to the schools I went to, everything I
did or had to turn in was dependent on technology of some form. Especially when
it comes to typing up and printing out assignments. When I got my first cell
phone it made a large impact in my life. I was able to talk with people over a
long distance rather than face to face.
Computers
were a major system that took a large hold of my life. Games was something I
enjoyed playing a lot and I had access to various types of games compared to a PlayStation,
for example. Turbo Pascal, a software development system, interested me ever
since I had a class on it in high school. From there I wanted to understand
what coding was and how it worked. Most of my time was spent on forums actually
learning everything I could about the parts that made up a computer and the
operating system that ran it. I think for the most part, computers became more
of a fascination than a cell phone or ipod. It was the window to the world and
like a spider web that kept me connected to everything that was going on in the
world.
So yes in
conclusion I think I am fluent in digital technology as I have to be especially
when pursuing the career and degree I’m in at the very moment.
