My Technology Timeline

The Ipod comes out
This is one of the first music devices Apple was known to create. I remember being little and my dad having one playing music all the time -
Windows XP is released
Windows XP is released and served/serves as the foundation for all current desktop operating systems. This is the very first screensaver I remember seeing on my family's only desktop computer in our living room. -
SMART Boards in Schools (Touch Edition)
I never had to attend school during the time of projectors. However, I was lucky enough to be among the students who experienced SMART boards. I will never forget asking to be the one who got to go up and calibrate it. -
Nintendo Gameboy SP
The amount of time I spent playing my pink Nintendo SP was crazy. It was my first handheld gaming system. -
The first SmartWatch comes out
The first smartwatch was introduced and has grown rapidly. Smart Watches are pivotal in today's time. Especially as an educator who cannot be on my phone the whole time. -
The Wii comes out
This is my favorite video game console ever solely for the nostalgia that comes when thinking of it. This was one of the first gaming systems my sister and I were gifted on Christmas. There were countless hours playing Just Dance, Mario Kart, and other games -
iPhone is Introduced
The first iPhone is introduced. These have also grown rapidly and 21.67% of the world's smartphone users use Apple iPhones. I was too young at the time to own a phone myself but both of my parents switched to iPhones shortly after their release. Neither of my parents have used any other phone since. -
HP Multi-Touch Screen Notebook
I never used a touchscreen laptop until my senior year of high school, 2018. This is important to include because without these beginnings I would not have the computer I'm using today and love. -
iPads Come Out
I did not own an iPad until my college years, however, I remember my mom's first iPad and how chunky it seems now in comparison to today. -
Today
These are some of the most significant technology pieces for me because they are all ones I still use today. However, I of course use the updated versions of all of these which really shows how vastly and rapidly technology has evolved and is currently evolving.
