2. I was born in the year
of 1990, so my
generation was
already subordinated
to technology. My first
memory of using
eletronic devices was
when I was about 3
years old – the TV
and the VHS player.
3. My mother used to go
out to work and I
wanted to watch
cartoons and Disney's
movies. So she taught
me how to use the VHS
video putting stickers
on the buttons. I
learned that the green
button was the one to
play the movie, the red
one was to stop the
movie, etc.
4. Technology has
been present
throughout my
childhood, with video
games (like Super
Nintendo) and
cartoons on TV.
5. When I started to use
the computer and the
Internet (about 1999)
was originally to do
research for school.
At the time I was still
amazed at how
Internet could easily
seek information.
6. When I became a
teenager I started to
use social networks
and quick
communication
programs. Again
internet amazed me
by connecting people
from different parts of
the world.
7. Nowadays I use
technology to
communicate with friends
and family, to keep me
connected to the news
and for entertainment. But
I don’t consider myself an
addicted to that. One
exemple:
This is my current mobile phone. I paid £9.90 for
it, and it’s perfect to me: no camera, no internet
access, but it makes and receives calls.
