Technology wow. A digital literacy narrative.
http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/484757-block-man-1-dos-screenshot-start-of-level-3-this-required.pnghttp://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/484757-block-man-1-dos-screenshot-start-of-level-3-this-required.png I awoke early technologically. I started on my mom’s I-don’t-even-know-what, when pixels were still 1cm x 2cm. I started typing at six years old, mostly to punch in my name to claim high scores. Play it
The years went by, windows ’95, and about the time 56k was prime, the internet opened me up to chat rooms. No eleven year old should be allowed in a chat room. http://img.brothersoft.com/screenshots/softimage/a/aol_instant_messenger_(aim)-76365-1.jpeg http://www.buzzle.com/img/articleImages/431128-8109-48.jpg Dangers for kids today.

Neopets – imagination soared. http://images.neopets.com/pets/happy/aisha_blue_baby.gif http://i.acdn.us/image/A3368/336865/300_336865.gif http://images.neopets.com/pets/happy/pteri_blue_baby.gif See it now. http://images.neopets.com/pets/happy/kougra_red_baby.gif
Then, as connections grew stronger, the quicker transfer of more data allowed for online gaming. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_X12znCyTeR0/S9BXV7sv2NI/AAAAAAAAABo/MFOef112B7U/s1600/counter-strike-26382.jpg Here, I learned how to talk shit. Here, I learned about the ego. People were really into it http://games.softpedia.com/screenshots/1-5_1.jpg
Throughout high school, typing, typing, typing, always typing. And when I had to take “Keyboarding” (it was required, I guess), I learned HTML instead. Where I learned.. http://any-expression.com/images/external-sheet.jpg

Facebookexploded digital phenomenon, attached millions to their computers daily. I’m one of them. Still typing. Bonus
and looking back, I am sure I’ve read more web pages than book pages.
