Introduction

Hi there! Thank you so much for viewing by blog. My name is Hayley and I am an eighteen-year-old freshman in college. I currently play softball at Arizona Western College. My primary position is pitcher. Technology has been a very important part of my life ever since middle school. From video games to television, I was constantly surrounded by technology in my home as a child. From elementary to middle school, one could find me stuck in front of the television screen catching up on cartoons. During high school, my interest shifted to more interactive technology. My cell phone is always in my pocket for casual texting or emergency phone calls. Like many teenagers, I can usually be seen on my phone. Without my phone, I feel disconnected from my friends and family. I am always texting my parents and friends back home in order to keep in touch while I am out of state for college. The Internet has also made a huge impact on my life as a college student. Research has become very easy due to the accessibility of millions and millions of databases. I feel like these search engines are more efficient than books and encyclopedias. Although I am not particularly proud of the fact, technology is a key factor to my everyday life.

  1. I know exactly how you feel. I can't see myself without my phone. I feel very disconnected when I don't have it.

  2. Completely agree about the efficient of the Internet as an information source. It's easier and faster than books and encyclopedias, but we can't trust in all the information that we find on the internet
