Techie from a Young Age
Ever since I can remember I have always been intrigued by technology. I did not develop my love of technology as I became older, it was always a part of me. I give thanks to this in part to my Dad because he has a similar passion for tech. He gave me my inspiration in it. I’m thankful for my interest in it, because I feel my knowledge of tech has better developed my education.
Where it all Started
When I was quite young, I really wanted to be like my dad and have tech like his. If you are at all as invested in tech as I am, then you most likely know what a Palm Pilot is. If not, a Palm Pilot is a PDA planner that became the first new age thing to paper planners. Helping the user to keep track of all of their events as well as their reminders electronically. These PDA planners also supported a minimal amount of different games. This was probably what intrigued me the most about them at the time being a kid. I wanted the ability to play games on long road trips as well as be like my Dad as I mentioned previously. So therefore, come on Christmas, my Dad gifted me my very own Palm Pilot. I was ecstatic.
My Next Love
In later years was the introduction of the iPod Video. I have had a love for music ever since I was young as well, and having the capability to take all of my music around with me at once was something I just had to have! I had a Walkman which required I take around all of my CD’s in a portable case as well if I wanted to listen to more than just the CD that was currently loaded into the Walkman. So, I asked for an iPod Video for Christmas and was luckily gifted one of these as well which I was very grateful for. Hence the name, I was also able to load videos or movies to the iPod which was fantastic!
Overall, these devices really kindled or ignited the fire that was within me. I then went on to possess other great portable devices such as the PSP (PlayStation Portable) as well as the iPod Touch. Each of these supported even more advanced apps and games than the Palm Pilot or the iPod Video opening a development to even more interest in tech than I had previously. They also had WIFI support opening up to me a vast number of potential I did not have access to with my iPod Video.
Looking back on the journey that I had with each of these devices, it’s been awesome to see where the tech field has come to over the past decade. These devices I owned really had an impact on creating the rise to where technology is today.
