Reflection of Technology

The status of technology is ever changing. Every year the computers we use, cell phones we talk on, and the televisions we watch our favorite programs on are constantly updating their status. Their statuses change by either making them more efficient and quick, the way it looks, or even the quality of the picture it omits. The techno-biography assignment has helped me show down and look back on how technology in my life has changed over years. Technology was in my life before I even knew what the word meant and it amazes me how inventions of 23 years ago have advanced or do not even exist anymore due to new and improved innovations. The world is so fast paced we do not even realize or appreciate the innovations that come in and out of our lives. For example, in my technology narrative I mention three different pieces of technology that have ultimately affected the way I think about technology. They are a hand held computer, my family's first computer with dial-up Internet, and the cell phone. These innovations have been very important factors in my life with technology.

The peer reviews workshop last Friday, has helped me not only with some positive criticism, but also in remembering other technologies of the past. I enjoyed reading what others wrote and giving them feedback about their papers. One item of technology that I have not thought about in years, Sarah had wrote about it in hers, was the "Dear Diary." I was so excited to read about it because I had one too and we were able to discuss what we wrote in them and the secrets we kept in them, but also how we loved the personal touch of written diaries.

The bio-technology reflection has been beneficial to me because I can now look at all the technology in my life right now and say wow technology has seriously evolved!
