First Video Game
While Super Mario World released into the gaming world in 1990, I received the game for Christmas in 1993! This is the first time my sister and I had hours of enjoyment on a gaming system. It's also the first time we were given a limit on the amount of screen time we had! Photo Credit: https://nintendo.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Mario_World -
Microwave
While many of my friends had microwaves before our family, my family got their first microwave in 1995! -
First Laptop in the House
My dad would bring his computer home from work so I could play games and research. This was the first time that I was exposed to gaming and a place to find research in my own home without going to the library or working at school!

Cell Phone
While in high school I remember getting my first cell phone. At that time I remember that we did not have texting or email available! My cell phone was only for calling my parents when I was done with sporting events, so they could come and pick me up! LIttle did I know then what an impact cell phones would have on society a few years later!

First Iphone Purchased
The big upgrade in cell phones came for me when I bought my first iPhone! For the first time, I could access the internet and send emails in a few seconds on my phone!
