Before this class, I hadn’t really considered the nature and significance of my interactions with technology. Looking back, however, I realize that technology has influenced what I do and how I think from a very young age. From playing video games and memorizing the keys on a computer key board as a child, to doing various projects in high school and college, to using an e-reader I have immersed myself in a culture of technology without much conscious thought.

to 20, and loaded me up with vocabulary. They wanted me to succeed in the writing and reading portion because when they tried to help me it was useless. However, I watched a lot of shows and I still do but these shows were really educational like Barney the Dinosaur. And my teachers helped a lot too with my development. Reading, writing, and help from school teachers helped me out in my journey with literacy. When I first came to the United States, I didn’t know anything about English. The…
