My First Blog Experience

From the first day of class I have been dreading the "blogging experience". I am not opposed to computers, I have just never had an interest in the whole technology scene. When my laptop breaks it takes me months to have it repaired, I don't get new cell phones until I drop my current one in a pot of water, and I may be the only college student with an unopened Ipod Touch.I appreciate computers for what they can do for us. However, the fast pace at which technology advances has always seemed a bit overwhelming, and quite honestly seems like a chore to keep up with.

On top of the task of keeping up with technology, I happen to have unfortunate luck with keeping my electronic devices out of harms way. It seems everything that can go wrong does. I have been to Best Buy for repairs so many times that they not only know me by name, but also have my phone number memorized. In fact, just recently I was in the parking lot after yet another laptop repair, I couldn't find my car keys so I set my laptop on the hood of my car. Meanwhile, my tag-a-long friend was having a conversation with an angry biker about where he puts his helmet when he goes into stores. To our suprise, in repsonse to her question he barked at her. In fear she ran back toward my car so hastily she knocked the laptop off my car and onto the ground. I picked the pieces of my laptop up and we headed back into the store for one more repair.

Anyway, I digress. As many troubles as I have had with technology in the past, perhaps this class will alter my view of technology. Hopefully, by the end of the course I will have a better appreciation for technology and computers. Even now, drawing near to the end of my first blog, I've decided the requirement of blogging is not all that bad after all. It was not the daunting task I imagined. In fact it is the most fun assignment I've had thus far in the semester. Who knows where the semester will lead, but hopefully it will end successfully and broaden my mind to the world of technology.
