My feelings about technology have always been integrated with my pride, perhaps my parents got over excited when I learned how to work the VCR or maybe I just really hate not knowing how to work something, but as long as I could remember I was always the IT expert in the house, any new technology that we got I would sit down with and through series of trial and error figure out how to get it to work. I really enjoyed the time I spent working out how the newest gadget in our house ticked , but of course what I enjoyed even more was the “ ESSMA COME FIX THIS FOR ME!!” ,
One of my earliest memories as a child using the computer was at my best friends house being introduced to a wonderful new world of computer games, now I think I realized the importance and danger of technology(although i am still obsessed with computer games), especially the internet for example; Facebook. I was one of the first of my friends to join , although I do remember thinking that it was a pretty useless site, of course now I honestly cannot imagine my life without it, it literally was one of the main reasons a revolution started in my country!
But before Facebook there was messenger, I remember how excited my mom was about this wonderful new program, now she could talk to her sister in America without worrying about paying a back breaking phone bill at the end of the month, and I remember how excited I was that now I could talk to my friend’s overseas, but what neither me or my mom saw coming was the amount of misunderstood situations msn can cause , I guess because there is no tone of voice of facial expressions, for example sarcasm is super dangerous to use on msn .
but overall i think my relationship with technology been highly linked to my relationship to the people i associate with the given technology.
