My Experience with Technology I am going to tell you some my experiences with technology from my past and how it will lead to my future. One of my experiences includes taking a Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) apart when I was younger. Another is when I built my first computer and the consequences that followed when I did that. So why did I take VCR player apart when I was younger? The reason is that I was curious, like boys are at that age, and I wanted to know how the VCR player worked. Therefore, I did what any other 10 year- old boys would do in my shoes, I found a screwdriver, and I started taking apart the player. Taking it apart was easy, but putting it back together proved to be a little more difficult than I had originally thought it would be. I tried hard to put it back together, unfortunately, I didn’t to have the required skills at the time to reassemble the VCR so in the trash it went. This VCR was not the only thing to be taken apart and not reassembled. I must have taken apart a least half of a dozens of them in addition to a DVD player or two. I took apart pretty much anything that was not bolted to the floor. To be fair, most of them were broken and were junk anyways, so me taking them apart didn’t mean I was out of control or anything. My parents saw it was a learning experience. My grandfather, on the other hand, told me when I was not allowed to touch any electronic devices in his house with a screwdriver, which I obeyed, most of the time.
The VCR was introduced In 1971 by Philips. VCR stands for video cassette recorder and it revolutionized home movies. It was so revolutionary in fact, that you can still buy them today, though they are packed along with DVD players. The DVD player, even though packaged with the VCR now-a-days, was the downfall of the long reign of the VCR.
It made my little brother so happy. We tore up an axle on the four wheeler, and we didn’t want my dad to find out. My brother and I only had a couple of scrapes on our knees, and besides that we were fine. After my sister picked us up, she called my grandpa to come and help us get this four wheeler out of the dirt pile. He brought a big, long chain and we hooked it up to the four wheeler, and truck, and we drug the four wheeler out and took it up to his house. My dad and mom were at home and we didn’t want them to know, and that is why we took it to his house. We called someone to come fix the axle, and they did, but it cost a lot of
Shopping. And if I was good, ToysRus. And guess what ToysRus had? That’s right, the new Nerf Sniper Blaster Pew Pew Machine. I decided this was my chance. I didn’t even really think of it as going behind my dad’s back, just as a new opportunity to get what I wanted. But I still saw the potential problems from having asked my dad first, so I waited until we were already in Portland to minimize the time in between when I ask for it and receive it. This created a very small window where my parents could have talked and foiled my schemes. And so I got in the car with a plan in my head and a grin on my face that I’m sure made my mother
So it all began one day when I wanted a scooter, me and my dad went to Walmart to get a scooter. We got the scooter and went back home, once we were at my house my dad said he will let me ride it in a little bit because he had to go to the store. He went to best buy to get something for the tv because we needed a cable to connect it to my x box. Once my dad got back he took care of me. My uncle came home and parked his truck in the drive-way.
I hopped out of our camper trailer with sheer excitement and in a hurried voice shouted to my parents that I was going to try out my new scooter. My mom yelled back from across the campsite that I was not going anywhere without my helmet. Following my unsuccessful attempt at protesting her advice, she proceeded to inform me that if I did not put the helmet on she would bring the scooter back to the store where she had bought it. I could not let my mother repossess the scooter that I just received, so I scurried off to find my helmet.
Today many people might take this for granted, but before home video became a simple commonality many films were simply shown in theaters and then stored away, never to be seen again (unless the film was big enough for a theatrical re-release or epics multi night TV events). The introduction of VHS, Betamax, HBO and other home viewing devices not only helped bring the consumers more entertainment, it helped the film industry gain a new cash cow. Thanks to the 1980’s innovative and commercially successful attempt of bringing home viewing to life, we now can have services like Amazon Instant Video, Netflix, On Demand, Pay-Per-View, Video Stores and much much more. It also brought another market to audiences, the Direct to video films we still see being produced
Technology has affected me in different ways. Using technology has help me to perform my job as a nurse more safely, improves charting and improves bedside nursing, to communicate with the coworkers and leadership team, to get education and get in-services online without having to attend physically to a classroom. In addition, with my phone, I use the GPS to find an address, or a new route when there is an accident, it will help me to get on time to my work place, since every day I hit traffic coming and going to work. At home, helps me to record my favorite shows in the DVR when I am not at home.

Technology enhances my professional life in a variety of ways. Walking through a single day of work enables a by stander to appreciate the multitude of techno-based encounters ultimately improving patient outcomes. Requests are received through our dispatch center, an EPCR (Electronic patient care record) is initiated. The following information is obtained: demographic, patient past medical history, current medical status, care rendered at referring institutions and requested continued care; i.e., Floor admission vs ICU/ER, admission may be recorded. Based on all information gather a mode of transport is determined, if the patient is stable and within a one-hour drive time to All Children’s Hospital, a ground transport is initiated, if on the other hand the patient is considered unstable and/or beyond the distance of one-hour, a rotor transport is chosen instead. Fixed-wing transport is also offered for distances greater then those reached by rotor-wing. Whichever mode is decided upon, the team on is dispatched through an IPhone linked system, transport/patient information is sent in encrypted form to ensure the patient health information is protective.
Press Start, or a similar phrase, is one most gamer see before enjoying a title of their choosing. Many see this as a simple passage into a fun few hours or weeks, but I see this as a gateway to a world of or escape from our own. Not many people can say how gaming has changed their lives and mean it truly has, but I can. When looking at when I got my first gaming console and how that effected my life through difficult times and gained this literacy. I had to deal with grief in my life in multiple stages. What this literacy allows me to do now that I have it, and how can I use it. One instance of this is speedy communication while playing games that require this type of language. Where is my literacy taking me next is a question I often contemplate
All of my life I have heard about the dangers of an excess amount of screen time. I have heard that it affects your vision, sleep schedule, energy, overall mood, and even success in school or on the job. In the past I may have disagreed with these statements because of my stubborn personality and because of my own inclination of overusing such technological devices, but now I have come to somewhat agree with these accusations against social medias, video games, and television. I look on how it has seemingly affected my own life, and I lean towards the arguement of the first passage. At times I even wonder what my life would be like without the large amount of exposure I have to these devices on the daily.

We are spending more time indoors than we are outside. The time we spent on the computer, watching TV, and other electronics drive is about 8 hours a day. During this time, we are usually spent alone and not with the rest of the family. With all the electronics drive, we currently have, we don 't need to get out of the house anymore, you can do everything from the luxury of your home. Almost everything revolves around technology now. Don’t get me wrong, I love computer and all the technology we have now, with every new invention coming out I have them all, Apple Watch, iPhone7 Plus, iPad, new Apple TV, and new headphone, most of my product is around Apple because I love the company they produce a good product, good design, and it last for a long time. On June 29, 2007, about 9 years ago, when the first generation of the iPhone came out, people will wait outside the stores to buy it. The estimated sales of this first generation iPhone were around 250,000 and 700,000 units in the first weekend
The new generation of students entering and already enrolled in university are members of a digital age- growing up surrounded by many forms of digital technology as they are the first generation of youth to have internet technology easily available at their disposal. This current generation have already been labelled by sociologist as “‘digital natives’ (Prensky 2001a) and the ‘net generation’ (Tapscott 1998)” (Prensky 2001a; Tapscott 1998 as cited in Murphy 2010). Technology is not something new to these students as its presence in their life have made them quite comfortable to the idea, as they perceive “technology as a way of life and express a need to feel connected at all times” (Russo et al. 2014). Although what is new are the
Remember the days of the Old West? The women walked around with their parasols or rode in a horse drawn carriage and the men rode fast and furious on their horses. Everything you needed was right there in town: the saloon, the general store, and the barber. When one needed to get somewhere, they would walk. If they needed to travel far, there were steam-powered locomotives. As towns and cities grew larger, it was not so convenient to walk everywhere. There was a need for a machine that could get us around to where we had to go. Technology was becoming a bigger part of the times and the machine we now know today as the automobile was invented.
