Technology Biography

When I think about the use of technology in my life it seems to be dominated by a few themes, music, the Internet, and video games. When I first started out using one of those weird colored old mac computers back in the day, I would use it mostly to look up information about my favorite TV shows and stuff like that. Eventually, with the development of mp3's and Napster I realized I needed a better computer. I was so happy to learn that I could download music for free, even though I knew it was illegal, I figured I would never be caught.

Once my family got a better computer and Internet connection I started to get into video games that you could play with other people online. By this time Napster had been shut down but I continued to use the computer to manage my music and media.

After I got over my phase of playing video games I started to use the computer even more for music. This is when I started to use the computer to record music from playing guitar. I've gotten away from that in previous years because it takes a lot of time and space on your computer.

My current uses for the computer is mostly to listen to music, browse the Internet, and occasionally watch movies. Technology helps me feed my need to be constantly listening to new music.
