Getting Techie

My history

Period: Nov 8, 1993 to Sep 8, 2013

First Home Computer

Dec 25, 1993

Our first home computer was huge and weighed a ton, but it was awesome to have.

Learned Excel

Jan 11, 1995

I learned to do excel before Microsoft Word through my husbands work computer. It was so hard for me.

Instant messaging was the craze

Jan 28, 1997

My children were up at all hours of the night instant messaging their friends. Occasionaly I would join in and I must say it was fun.

Started to use Hotmail

Mar 18, 1997

I was slow at getting into email but once I did it was such a life saver.

Google is sweet!

May 10, 1998

Wow! It was refreshing to start using google as a search engine and still do today.

Loved Napster-it lived a short life.

Jul 15, 1999

Used Napster until lawsuits began and realized it probably was not the best thing...it was stealing!

Mutilple computers in our home.

Sep 16, 2000

With a growing family and so many fighting over who could use Dad's laptop or the family computer we invisted in a nice gateway computer. Later got a Dell for the children to only use. It was nice to have my children teach me the things that they knew and I quickly started to learn more things through trial and error.

Bought me an Ipod

Dec 18, 2002

Ipods are so nice for listening to talks, books and music. I can't go running without my ipod shuffle.

Gmail

Sep 8, 2009

Really started to use gmail and learned to later do google docs and all that fun stuff at BYU!

Skyping to stay in touch

Nov 19, 2009

My sister convinced me to start Skyping to stay in touch with her and other family members.

Wikipedia became a good friend

Apr 26, 2010

It is nice to see professors even use Wikipedia. It sure is great.

I am a Blogger

Jul 6, 2012

I had to blog for my humanites class and had not blogged before.

Youtube for Humanities Class

Aug 1, 2012

So I have enjoyed Youtube and all the videos until it came to posting a humanities skit on youtube. I was awful in it and now the some of the world will know that I would make a terrible actress.

Finally started FaceBooking with my children

May 17, 2013

So my daughter made me a facebook page so I could join them in the fun. I am not really into it but it is fun to stay connected and share things with my children.

Getting me a Google Chrome Book

Sep 8, 2013

So I have this technology class and I need a laptop. I am finally ordering me my own laptop. I won't have to share with anyone.
