Technology in my little corner of the world.

  • Reel to reel home videos

    Reel to reel home videos
    I remember watching old home movies in my Grandpa's living room on his reel to reel projector.
  • Party Line Phones

    Party Line Phones
    My grandparents lived in Benjamin and were sheep farmers. Not having a lot of money they had a "Party Line." It was horrible because one lady was ALWAYS on the phone and you couldn't call out unless she gave up the line.
  • 8 Track Music Player

    8 Track Music Player
    I remember singing to Eddie Rabbit on my mom's old 8 Track player. If I remember right you could only fast forward.
  • Record Player

    My first record I owned was Michael Jackson's "Off The Wall."
  • My first personal phone

    My first personal phone
    When living at my parents house I had a phone jack just outside of my bedroom door. I ran a cord under a rug into my room and talked on the phone for hours.
  • Apple IIe

    Apple IIe
    When I was in 8th grade I was introduced to the first computer I had ever used in school, the Apple IIe. We had to load a floppy disc to boot it up.
  • Cell Phone

    Cell Phone
    I remember seeing rich people on television talking on these HUGE phones! Using a cell phone in the early days was REALLY EXPENSIVE!
  • Sony Walkman

    Sony  Walkman
    If you were anybody you had a Sony Walkman! The ease of carrying your music anywhere was now available!
  • Go Phone

    Go Phone
    The first cellular phone I ever had was a "Go Phone." I prepaid for a monthly plan and then if I went over my minutes I had to pay a SMALL FORTUNE! I learned that the hard way.
  • My first iPod

    My first iPod
    I got my first iPod in 2003. I used it in my dance classes and found it AMAZING since I didn't have to lug a whole bunch of CD's around. It was also super easy to find songs and create playlists to use in my class for that particular day.
