Life with Tech

Nintendo NES
We get our first Nintendo! I work on passing every level of Bubble Bobble. -
Mixed Tape Mania
I get the wonderful gift of a tape recorder. I spend hour listening to the radio just to catch and record my favorite song on a blank cassette tape. -
VHS Heartbreak
I watch Lion King over and over. All that rewinding and watching wear my VHS down and it snaps. Great sadness. Goodbye (again), Mufasa. -
Story Book Weaver
Story Book Weaver comes into my life during fifth grade computer lab. My inner author rejoices! I am able to write my own stories and illustrate them using computer images! -
Bye, Bye, Bye!
I meet my future husband, Justin Timberlake over the radio in seventh grade gym class. I rush to Media Play and purchase my first CD. And the NSYNC obsession is born. -
Napster
I create a Napster account and begin "sharing" songs at a rapid rate. I download like I'm preparing to become a party DJ and I need the world's widest variety of songs. I have never been happier. -
My Heart Is Full
My parents help celebrate my high school graduation by giving me an iPod classic. I can download songs and movies and play them on an amazing little device I can carry in my pocket. The inscription on the back reads, "My heart is full". True indeed. -
Get Lost, Or Don't
I am famous in my family for getting lost while driving. And then panicking about getting lost. So my parents decided to get me a GPS for my car so that I would not be calling them from Logan everyday, asking for directions. -
Netfilx and... Binge Watch
My first Netflix account. Many sleepless nights of streaming full seasons of TV shows. -
Coming Home
My husband and I purchase our first home. It's time to fill it with furniture. What will our first big purchase be? A 70" television, of course! Nothing like watching Fight Nights and Nashville on a giant screen.
