    While most kids were outside playing in the mud and dirt, I was sitting inside on a couch, comfortable, clean, and happy to do so. As a child, I detested the idea of getting my clothes dirty. I loved to be able to maintain the pristine cleanliness of my outfit, so I often refused to play outside. Instead, I resorted to a crimson red Gameboy SP with a blazing LED screen, almost too big for my hands, for my childhood action. I’d live out intense fantasies in that three inch square.…

    I established a 15 hour technology fast from Saturday 10 PM to 1 PM Sunday morning. I selfishly chose this time frame because I knew that any other time during the week would be nearly impossible to accomplish. Since, I am indebted to my technological devices to complete assignment, manage my schedule, and meet required responsibilities. In addition, I chose to include sleeping hours because it would cut a majority of the time that I would be without technology. However, I did not want to fully exclude myself from this social experiment, therefore, I extended the hours.…

    I have always been interested in technology and how it works. Whenever I would get a new technological device, I would instantly start playing with it and figure out everything it is capable of. I also enjoy helping other people figure out how to make their electronics work; even if it is something as simple as explaining to my grandparents why one text message is green instead of blue. I also really enjoyed a summer camp where I learned how to program a computer game and program a robot to go through a maze.…

    I sat in the office all day and try to keep up with all that was going on with the new patient information that needed to be put into the computer, updates, insurance, and everything else that is still a blur.

She stayed right there with me and walked me through it, but after a while, I got panicky and had to let her take over. Donna later showed me how to print and send out reminders of patient appointments. By the end of the day, I was becoming a little bit more comfortable answering phones and routing them to the right person and checking patients in.…

    Imagine yourself in the middle of a busy office “Tap-tap… tap-tap-tap…” This is the sound from typing. Every time a finger presses down on a key, it generates a slightly different sound, and the interval between each tap is distinct as well. Together, all those finger tapping make an inconsistent, disordered noise, yet this is the sound that calms my mind the most. The typing sound reminds me the day I moved to the U.S., where I was utterly stunned by the view of this land of technological innovations.…
