Week 3, Thing 7

When I think about technology I think about what the world is like today because of it. We are able to connect with so much of the world and understand more about what is happening. Technology has made it possible for families and friends to communicate from a distance. When I was still living in Pennsylvania, I was able to see and hear my new granddaughter over the internet because my daughter had iSight. If it wasn’t for that I would have had to wait to see and hear her until I could visit and finally move to Alaska.

As I sit on my couch writing this, I think of the technology I am using at this moment:

· Notebook computer with software

· Wireless internet

· iPod –connected to computer speakers

· Cell phone (near me)

· Digital clock that automatically sets itself when connected to electricity

It’s amazing. I love technology and cannot wait to see what will be available next.
