Early Years
From birth I was exposed to many different forms of technology. Televisions, computers and game consoles such as the PlayStation 1 were all part of my childhood. -
Primary School
Despite growing up with computers in my house, school introduced computers as a tool for working rather than to be used for fun. I learned basic computer skills.
Towards the end of my time at primary school, I got to use a new piece of technology which was slowly being integrated into schools, the SmartBoard. This was later to replace chalkbords in school. -
Music Player
Got my first Walkman, portable CD player, This would later be replaced by an IPod. -
Mobile Phone
At this point I was given my very first mobile phone. At this age I did not have much use for a mobile phone and mostly played the games which came with the phone. -
Social Media
Created my first social media account on the website Piczo. Over the following years i would also join other social media websites such as Bebo, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. -
Email
Opened up my own email account -
Smartphone
At this point I got a smartphone which were becoming more popular in the years preceding, This enabled me to use all the normals functions of a phone as well as allowing me to now use the internet, and therefore platforms such as social media, from my phone.
