Assignment 2 - Ethan MacGillivray

If I was born 20 years earlier, in 1980, then my life and all the relationships in it would be completely different. A lot of things that happen within my family go through technology. In 1980, my grandparents wouldn't be able to text me "good luck" before my soccer games, my mom wouldn't be able to ask me what I wanted for dinner, and my dad wouldn't be able to ask me what time I would be home. I also wouldn't be able to keep in touch with friends that don't go to my school as well as I can, or keep up with the happenings all around me through social media. I wouldn't be able to hear about sports news until the newspaper came out the next day, but with technology I have up-to-the-second score and stats for my favorite soccer leagues around the world. Growing up in the 80s and 90s would be drastically different than it is today, but I think that I much prefer growing up in this age of technology.
