My Technobiography

I grew up in the analog age, and I've got an uneasy relationship with digital technology. When I worked professionally after college, many of the current technologies weren't widely available, used, or even invented for that matter. When new programs became available, like Excel, the shared secretary I had did the charts and graphs for me, or I was able to go to the company's research department for help. I should have learned to do it myself. I use my home computer more than any other one, primarily for email and internet searching. I'm not on a computer much at my school job. I wouldn't own a cell phone if it hadn't been given to me, and it's so old that it embarrasses my children for me to pull it out. They don't have cell phones yet, much to their dismay.
