Computers through the Ages

First computer

2005

My family would take turns using our desktop computer. We had a few games on cds that we liked to play.

next desktop computer

2008

Monitors started getting thinner and computers weren't as bulky. I also started using USBs to save things.

First social media account

2008

I got my first social media account in high school. You would have to log onto your computer to check your account.

First laptop

2010

I got my first laptop when I went to college. It was so heavy to carry around in my backpack that I would usually just leave it back at my dorm!

First got instagram

2013

I got an Instagram account right before my mission. Instagram was a lot more simple back then and I remember coming home from my mission and being surprised at how popular Instagram had become.

newer laptop

2015

Later in college I got a newer laptop that was a lot thinner and lighter.

Back to a Dell Monitor

2016

When I started teaching in 2016 I had a Dell desktop monitor. This is the first monitor I had used frequently since being at home.

Ipad

2017

I also had an ipad I would use for work. I liked using the feature of making it a portable document camera.

Chromebook

2018

I used my dell monitor a lot for work but wanted a smaller laptop to use at home or on the go so I bought the chromebook I have now. I like that it is small and also had a touchscreen.

Social Media becomes the norm

2021

Social media has grown and the different sites have expanded what people can do and post on them. I have had accounts on a lot of platforms at least for a time (pinterest, tumblr, youtube, twitter) Now there are things like instagram reels, tik tok, and zoom that are used a lot. I also never log onto social media on my computer but just use the app on my phone.
