  • First computer in the house!

    First computer in the house!
    My family has never been very technological but I remember when my brother in law said it would be great to have a PC at home for studying and my parents bought one! I designed a program with which you could learn the irregular verbs in English!
  • Internet... What's that?

    Internet... What's that?
    My cousing came to me and said that he was going to book a seat in the computer lab of the faculty at the University because he had just created an email and he could find information from all around the world with a computer because they had internet. I immediately asked him to go with him!
  • This was my first cell phone.

    This was my first cell phone.
    It was in blue, but my boyfriend gave it to me because I was sharing an apartment with some other students and I could phone my parents any time I wanted. The brand was an ALCATEL.
  • Texting with the phone?

    My sister Ana said to me that with the phone I could also write texts! We tried it and... it worked!! (They were still very expensive, though)
  • My own personal computer

    My own personal computer
    With the money I got from my studies grant, I decided to buy a PC so that I could do all the University assignments of the degree. I still have it!!
  • I hear that Apple exists for the first time

    I hear that Apple exists for the first time
    My brother in law is an Apple fan. He told me that I should buy a Mac computer because they are more reliable.
  • I moved to Madrid

    And of course, I brought my PC with me. This time I could connect it to a line and have internet!
  • I bought my first laptop!

    I bought my first laptop!
    It is going to sound incredible, but until 2007 I didn't buy my own laptop. It was a MacBookPro 17" and I paid 2400 euros... Really expensive!!!! (It still works but I don't use it anymore)
  • IPad 1st generation

    IPad 1st generation
    My husband and I decided to buy an iPad. It doesn't have a camera because it's 1st generation. We barely use it because we have an iPad 2 from school that has camera and it is uploadable.
  • Multiple email accounts

    Multiple email accounts
    I have a few email accounts which are used for different purposes: my teaching life, my acting life and my social-regular life. Who doesn't have more than one email account?
  • IPhone 4s!!!

    IPhone 4s!!!
    I finally decided to have an smartphone! I am so in love with my phone that I still use the same one. The screen is broken but it still works perfectly!
  • New laptop.

    New laptop.
    As my old MacBookPro started working weird, I decided to buy a new one. I've bought this one here in the USA and it has taken me a few weeks to get used to the American keyboard. In Spain our keyboards are different!
