Technology Through My Ages

    I was never lucky enough to own an Atari. My parents did not like the idea of video games but I loved playing Atari at my friends homes.

    My dad was my "spellcheck" becuase the Commodore 64 only allowed me to type my papers...and play Pac-Man
  • Caller ID

    Caller ID
    Caller ID was a true luxury! My husband and I were finally on a phone plan that allowed us to have Caller ID. I was so grateful that I would not have to answer a sales call again!
  • My First Laptop

    My husband and I finally saved enough money to allow us to buy our first laptop computer.
  • Digital Camera

    Digital Camera
    I wish digital cameras were around when my oldest daughter was borm. I have so many family pictures on old film strips. Digital cameras changed my ability to take pictures, organize pictures and even scrapbook my childrens younger years.
  • Our First Big Screen TV

    Our First Big Screen TV
    We could not wait to own a big screen TV. The TV was so big we had to remove the fire place from our house to allow space for it to fit.
  • My First Cel Phone

    My First Cel Phone
    I held off getting a Cel phone until my children were old enough to stay home alone. Once I had a cell phone I felt a lot better knowing they could contact me any time. It took me a long time to learn how to text!
  • Social Media

    Social Media
    Facebook was my first introduction to Social Media. Three years later I have deleted all of my social media sources.
