    Where It All Began
    Walkie-Talkies were one of my favorite "toys" as a child. My mother would always have to be on the receiving line and have conversations with me.

    The Firefly
    This was the year I began walking to the bus-stop by myself. My aunt had bought me the firefly cell phone. It could only call 3 people who were preset in there. Those 3 people were my mom, my dad, and of course my aunt.
  • My First Cell-Phone

    My First Cell-Phone
    My family and I were watching the Phillies World Series championship game and this was the time my aunt gave me my first cell-phone. It was a purple flip phone from AT&T. It was my first exposure to text messaging and with this phone there was not a full keyboard. I had to press the numbers on the phone to get to the letter I wanted.

    After my two year plan was up, I switched over to Verizon on my parents plan. My first phone with Verizon was the Pixi. It was similar in style to the blackberry but much smaller and had a touch screen. it fit perfecly in your hand and the camera was much better than my previous phones.

    The Ultimate Upgrade
    My step-dad had given me his upgrade for me to purchase the iPhone 4! The evolution of change had come into effect. With the iPhone came a screen that was completely touch screen, and a front facing camera as well as Sir who is an automated voice that you can talk too. I was in awe.

    The Next Generation
    This year's upgrade was the iPhone 5c. With this phone eveyrything was the same as the last iPhone but instead of having a glass back, I had a plastic back. The camera has gotten remarkably better as well.
  • The iPhone 6

    The iPhone 6
    Apple has introduced two new iPhones. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. The Plus is bigger than the average mans hand and is capable of more storage than any other iPone. With this iPhone the screen is much larger and a front facing camera with a flash was added. The camera was upgraded and the design itself is much slimmer and sleeker.
