Technology is an integral and important part of my life. Like most I use technology such as computers and the Internet to complete schoolwork, projects, and to conduct research. Technology helps to speed up the learning process for students like myself because it creates a more efficient learning environment in many ways. For example I can write this blog post much faster than I could if I were to hand-write it. And of course without the Internet I wouldn’t be able to view my peers posts until I attended class on Wednesday. But technology is also an important part of my life for reasons other than just education. Technology is also important to me for enjoyment purposes. As a musician I use technology to create and record music. I enjoy experimenting with electronic keyboards and synthesizers to create new and interesting sounds and I use my computer to record and edit these tracks. Technology is also important to me for communication purposes. Moving six hours away from home as an eighteen-year-old is certainly a daunting experience, but with cell phones and built in video cameras on computers my family and friends are just a click away. For all these reasons technology is invaluable to me and without it my life would unquestionably be very different.
