Cassette Player
Received my first cassette player for Christmas. I immediately begin making recordings of family members talking to each other. I begin building my music collection from songs on the radio. Image from Wikipedia. -

Microwave
Our family is excited to get one of the new inventions, the microwave. My mother spends the first few weeks with the cookbook that was included with the purchase. My family is in wonder at how quickly dinner can be on the table. However, the meal doesn't seem to be as good.

Commodore 64 Computer
Our school installs a computer lab with Commodore 64 computers. The first thing they teach the class is how to change the background color and font. We are all amazed and excited to know how to do this. Image from Wikipedia. -
First Cell Phone
The first cell phone I ever owned was a large receiver with a cord connected and attached to a carry bag. The antenna was located in the bag and plugged into a cigarette lighter in your car. Not as convenient as our phones today! Image from Wikipedia. -
Chat Rooms
My sister has the internet at her house and invites me over to introduce me to chat rooms. You can talk to people all over the world by typing instant messages that they can read as you type. I meet a guy that I become friends with and later we are married. Image from: http://www.kids-online.net/learn/chat.html -
Online Classes
I begin taking my first online class. I find the work load to be more, than in attending a general classroom. Organization is the key to succeeding at online classes and I enjoy the challenge. It is a convenient way to accomplish my goal of becoming a teacher.
