Birth
I was born to a computer programming father. -
DOS Games
As a young tot, I learned to run and play Commander Keen (using cheats and all) on my dad's work computer while on vacation. -
The Cow Computer
I'll never forget the day our new family computer came home...a 1995 Gateway (the box was spotted like a cow...we still have the box). -
Encarta '95
I distinctly recall the Encarta '95 program that I was allowed to use as a child. I'd put the CD in the drive and look up different dinosaurs and beg to print them out in full colour. -
N64
My parents never bought me a gaming console, but I sure loved playing at my friends. For my birthday one year, my parents rented me one for a week over spring break from the TVS Video store. I didn't leave the basement for a week! -
Gameboy Colour
In grade 3 I saved up all my money and was allowed to buy a Gameboy Colour and the Pokemon game. -
SmartBoard
My friend and I were asked to make a PowerPoint presentation at the board office to show off the new SmartBoard. It didn't work and our teacher had to click the mouse when we tapped the screen. -
Y2K
Mom dad, the computer guy, asked me to turn off the computer on New Years Eve 1999...just in case! -
PlayStation 2
Again, saved all my money to buy the greatest console of its time. -
YouTube
It was born! -
My first cell phone
Pay as you go...for emergencies...no texting...thanks mom and dad! -
iPhone
My friend bought an iPhone on eBay from the USA before they were available in Canada...coolest kid ever! -
Macbook
My first laptop...all set for university! -
Wifi Calls
Found out I could make free calls anywhere in the world over wifi. Of course, Skype and FaceTime exist as well. But for those landlines you need to reach this was huge! -
My first iPhone
Finally! -
From here on it's AR...after Rennie
Took my first Teacher and Tech course.
