Assignment 2- Elizabeth Salamanca

As someone who has grown up with technology, from spending hours on Barbie.com to spending hours on Netflix.com, I can barely imagine my life without technology. Almost every moment of everyday would be affected without modern technology. I wouldn't wake up to the alarm on my iPhone, I wouldn't text my friends all day, I wouldn't look up videos to help me with homework, I wouldn't Skype my best friend, and I wouldn't fall asleep to the blinding glow of my computer. Communication between people would have to be more face to face, so I would spend less time alone. Most of my friendships were made face to face though, without the assistance of technology, but I think technology has certainly strengthened them. Being apart from someone over summer break would mean almost no communication with them, unless I were able to text. I definitely prefer this time period over twenty years ago. The ease at which I can receive information about almost anything never ceases to astound me, and I look forward to all the future technologies I'll see in my lifetime.
