A Digital Native's Timeline

iMac computers

Sep 1, 2003

I don't really remeber what year we used these, but I remembered seing them on TV and thinking that they were so cool looking. We used them in elementary school I think, and I always looked forward to it. They came in lots of different colors, my favorite was pink, and it was so fun. Looking back now, they were so slow compared to technology now.

CD Player

Dec 25, 2003

I had a CD player similar to this when I was around 8 or 9 years old. I would take different CD's with me to school and listen to them constantly.

Nintendo DS

Dec 25, 2004

I got the Nintendo DS for Christmas in 4th grade I believe. I remember a few kids getting them, and there is a way to chat or color pictures with other people using the DS's. It was so fun to chat with friends on the bus, or at school.

Bratz Karaoke Machine

Dec 25, 2005

I got this Bratz Karaoke Machine one year for Christmas. It was so much fun! It came with a CD of all kinds of songs to sing along to.

Ipod Nano

Feb 1, 2006

I got my first ipod nano for my birthday in 2006. I was 11 years old. I absolutley loved this ipod! I felt so cool because they were the cool new devices!

Samsung Flip Phone

Feb 14, 2007

This was my very first phone that I got for my 12th birthday. I absolutley loved it! It had a camera, and you could take pictures for the background on the front of the phone and when you opened it up. I felt so cool when I recieved this.

Play Station Portable (PSP)

Sep 1, 2007

I don't really remember when I got one of these, but I thought they were the coolest things ever. You could browse the web, play games, watch movies, etc. You just had to buy the tiny little movie disks or games to make that happen. I loved this thing!!

Facebook

Nov 23, 2008

I was in 9th grade when I first heard of Facebook. People would ask me all the time if I had one, and I had no idea what they were talking about. I finally got one with my mom's help because she had one, and I didn't know how to work it. I used it for a long time when it first came out, but not quite as frequently anymore.

Instagram

Apr 1, 2012

Instagram. Everyone was raving about this in high school. I got one when I was a junior, and it was the cool new thing. I prefer it to facebook and twitter, I like it a lot. I don't post very often, but it's fun to se what everyone is up to. It seems to be pretty popular still to this day.

I got the new iphone 5S last year after my old phone broke. It's a great phone, and I love the gold accents.
