    I remember when my dad brought home our first computer. We had gotten it in Columbus, Ohio at MicroCenter. I thought it was the coolest piece of technology. We bought a new computer station and sat it in our living room.

  • School Overhead Notes

    During elementary and middle school I would walk into every classroom and see these overhead projectors and at the time they used transparences and you always had to use special markers on them.

    For Christmas every year my parents always got be two big gifts. When I was 8 they bought me my first TV. We had just redone my room so they thought it would be a great edition! I remember laying in bed at night watching old Disney VCR tapes! https://offerup.com/item/detail/1217276720

    My parents decided when I was in middle school starting sports that I needed a cell phone. It was only to be used to contact them if practice was over or was canceled. I loved that phone! https://www.phonearena.com/phones/Kyocera-KE413_id551

  • My first CD player

    I was headed to Washington D.C. in 6th grade and it was going to be a long bus ride. My parents bought me a walkman with a few CDs so I wouldn't get bored on the bus.

  • First Laptop

    Graduating high school and heading to college I needed a traveling computer. My parents bought me this computer and it was so much different than out original desktop we had gotten a few years previous. It was quicker, smaller, and more convenient. https://www.notebookcheck.net/HP-Pavilion-dv7t.11152.0.html

    I recently finally upgraded my iPhoneX to the iPhone13. Its camera is refined, the software is quick, and so much more storage.
