Baby days to 3 years old.
When I was born, my parents always made me watch videos for babies, especially Barney. We would always have DVDs with us everywhere we go, since I adore Barney so much. My parents provided me books as well, teaching me how to sight read. Also, usually we would listen to the radio when we are on the road. If not the radio, they would play music. I grew up and learned basic lessons with the aid of technology. -

It serves as a portable television, for a child it's already a high-technology gadget.
My mother also bought a set of books to guide me for school, since I started attending school already at that time. -

Though, it did not really work well with me, I knew how to use the both of them. I sometimes read the newspaper for entertainment and news. -
