Birth Year
I was born in the year of 1994 - which seemed to be around the time that the first web browsers were being developed and used by the masses.

Creation of Wifi
While doing internet research, I found that wifi was created before the 2000s. This was interesting to me and worth putting on my timeline, because I lived through a huge technological event that didn't really effect my life until much later. I am from a very rural town, and we did not get WIFI services at our house until the 2010s. This is such a huge time gap that it was worth putting in my timeline.

The Facebook
I was ten years old at the time, and my oldest sister was graduating high school. I remember her showing me around Facebook and her creating me an account just for fun. I didn't actually use the account for years later, but it is neat to reflect on how early I was exposed to the social media platform.

iPod Shuffle
The iPod shuffle came out in 2005, but I got my first iPod for Christmas the following year. I loved the shuffle and finally being able to listen to music on my long bus rides to and from school.

Myspace & Coding
When I was in 8th grade, Myspace really became popular. I remember getting on Myspace and rearranging the order of my friends, as well as using different coding tips and tricks to customize my page.

Google Chrome
Around this time, I was entering high school, and we always used Internet Explorer for our web browser, but things were starting to switch towards Google Chrome now.It took me awhile to adjust and actually switch over to Google Chrome, but at school, it started to be the web browser of choice and pushed me towards using it more.

SmartBoards
My senior year of high school was when our school finally got SmartBoards in the classrooms.
I was so excited to use it and I can remember my high school spanish teacher allowing me to just doodle on it with the markers, because I thought it was so neat. I was going into education myself and I was eager to have my own SmartBoard in my classroom, but I never did. Once I got a job in the field, my school had switched to Apple TVs and TVs in the classroom.
