Bag Phones
Around the time I was born, my parents got a bag phone. I remember this phone as I got older, it would sit in the middle of the console of the car and we would only use it during emergency situations! Now cars have cell phones built in and most of us don't leave the house without one! Image from Wikipedia. -

Play Station - My first gaming console
I was about 5 years old when I received my first gaming console! It was the Play Station 1 and I loved everything about it! Now, my children would think this is super old! Image from Google. -
First Home Computer
I received my first home computer. The computer system had dial up internet and was only used when necessary. We would buy the internet cards and the space and time was limited. Now there's a computer everywhere you look! Image from Wikipedia. -
Cell Phone
When I was in middle school, I received my first cell phone. At the time, track-phones were the "in" thing. I begged my parents for a more "cool" phone at the time but looking back I was thankful. I am attached to my cell phone today, whether its texting or checking emails. Little did I know that in 6th grade a cell phone would be a huge part of my life. -
Music
When I was in middle school, all music was pretty much on CD's. It wasn't until I was in the 8th grade or so that we started putting music on our smart phones. Listening to music or books on the phones were the best thing we could think of at the time! -
Social Media
Social Media has had a huge impact in my life. When I was in the 8th grade, I started getting on Social Media. Social Media has came from MySpace to Twitter in the last decade. Now, social media is not only used for personal use but other uses as well. -
GPS
In 2007, I received my very first GPS. I had to travel 8-9 hours and my mom bought me one for my birthday. Today, I use the GPS on my cell phone so using an actual GPS like a Garmin, is not necessary anymore! Image from Google. -
I-pad
Last year, my first year as a public school educator, I had the privledge of working in a county where each student received an iPad. We had a one-to-one classroom. This was so new to me and am still adjusting.
