Technology Background

Well to be honest, I do not have much of a technology background, so I'm pretty nervous about this class. When I was young I played some computer games like Monopoly, this Ice crystal math game (I can't remember what it is called), and Oregon trail (like most everyone). In elementary school once of week we would go to the computer lab and learn to type using the typing program. I really enjoyed doing that- I even had a different typing program on my computer at home that I used because I enjoyed typing so much. When I got older I loved playing the Sims computer game where you would build your own houses.
In high school I took a computer class where I learned the ins and outs of PowerPoint, Word, the internet, and some other programs. I also took a computer art class, which was definitely out of my comfort zone- most of the time I didn't know what I was doing. But I learned how to use Photoshop and another Illustrating program (which I don't remember too much about anymore).
At my house, we used dial-up until the summer after my freshman year of college. So I used THE slowest computer all through high school. Now that I am in college I feel like I have been much more exposed to technology. I got my own laptop for the first time, I've learned how to download pictures onto my computer from my camera, I know how to research on the internet, I know how to email and use facebook. Before college I didn't even know what the difference was between a PC and a Mac- but now I do, and thanks to the exercise science class from last semester I sort of know how to use a Mac.
