Telephone
My parents had a couple telephones around the house and I just thought it was a convenient way to talk to people at that time. I was exposed to it when I was 2 yrs old so, not much comments come to mind. -

Smartphone
I didn't have one of my own yet but, my friend did. I found it cool since it was my fist time personally seeing one. -

I didn't really have an opinion on it then because, my exposure to a laptop was my teacher using one but I never actually used one myself. I did eventually get one of my own. It was really useful for being productive in school and I used it a lot for academic things. -
LCD Projector
My teacher used this to teach and present their powerpoints. I found it as a more convenient way for them to teach the lessons needed for my class to learn -

My sister created her own yahoo email and I did not really use it at all. -

it was a good way for me to communicate with other people and bond with them. it also helped me catch up with the lives of some of the friends that I do not see everyday. -
Tablet
My friend would bring an iPad to school and we would always play with it after school. A couple years later, my mom bought one. To me, as a child, it was just something I could play with. -
