Technology Autobiography

As a member of the Internet generation I am not completely in the dark regarding technology but there are plenty of technological innovations that I know absolutely nothing about. In elementary school we had a desktop computer that ran on DOS and had a word processor and a few games. We got our first Windows run computer when I was in 7th grade and the Internet when I was in eighth grade. Since then I've learned quite a bit about computers and the Internet but use it primarily as a source of information. More recently I've gotten into some of the social networking sites but don't let them run my life. I spend a fair amount of time on the computer, but not my entire day as I still enjoy reading and being outside. I'm pretty proficient with most standard programs and am MOUS certified in Word and Excel. I spent two semesters exploring computer science and programming before I decided that I didn't want to spend the rest of my life staring at a computer screen. I enjoy creating power point presentations and other graphics. I am a graphic artist for a small T-shirt company in my hometown and have a fair amount of experience with graphics programs, especially Corel Draw. I would say that I know more than most people about technology but am certainly not one of those people that you can call that can make a computer do whatever they want.

OK, so that's a brief tidbit about my technological experiences in one of the more disorganized writings I've done, but a decent start to this whole blogging thing.
