Assignment 2- Kathleen Gibbs

Being the 21st century kid that I am, technology has been a part of my life ever since I can remember. The first place I think to go if I don't understand something is google and iPhones have been prevalent all throughout my short life. As an avid golfer and iPhone user, my phone is never far away during most rounds of golf. On one particular round last spring, I was playing with my parents and we were not playing to our potentials to say the least. I had teed off on a par 5 full of water and my ball found its way to a wonderful lie behind a tree and right in front of a lake. I had full confidence in the shot when I started to swing, but as fate would have it, my ball sailed straight into the trunk of the tree, ricocheting straight for my mom. My mother was standing straight in the rogue ball's line of destruction until my phone, stowed safely in my golf bag (I thought!), put its life on the line and took the hit so my mom didn't have to. The poor piece of technology's screen was shattered and the phone itself was bent but its valor will never be forgotten. Technology has left its positive impact on my life by saving my mother from a trip to the hospital!
