    How technology has affected me during my lifetime.
  • Windows 95

    Windows 95
    Even though I was born three years after this was released and Windows 98 was created then, Windows 95 was the operating system my parents used and was part of my first contact with computers.
  • Nintendo 64

    Nintendo 64
    Nintendo 64 was the first video game console I ever had. I also ended up buying a PlayStation but Nintendo was the one I played most when I was a little kid.
  • First public American broadcast of HDTV

    First public American broadcast of HDTV
    The first public United States broadcast of high-definition television was aired in 1996. I grew up the first several years of my life on standard definition, but my family got an HDTV around when I was in second grade
  • Wikipedia

    Wikipedia
    Wikipedia is significant because it has greatly helped me with schoolwork, even though we're not allowed to cite it for projects
  • Facebook

    Facebook
    I made my Facebook account when I was in fifth grade and actively used it for a couple years. Even though I don't use it anymore, it introduced me to social networking and that makes it significant
  • iPod Video

    iPod Video
    The 5th generation iPod (back then marketed as the iPod Video) was my first iPod, using the money I got from my First Holy Communion in 2007
  • iPhone

    iPhone
    I've had an iPhone for years and currently have a iPhone 6, which is much better than the Android I had for my first phone
  • iPod Touch

    iPod Touch
    The iPod Touch is what introduced me to apps and the touchscreen that is used by most smart phones today. I bough my iPod Touch in 2009, and it still works perfectly fine even though I don't really use it anymore.
  • Android

    Android
    My first phone was an Android, getting it around 6th grade. My first phone got the job done but it would always freeze and break down which I thought was annoying
  • iPad

    iPad
    I got my iPad when I was in seventh grade, and it's become very significant since that I have to use it in school
