Technology has been a huge part of my life as well as my siblings life. I have been attached to technology for years, dating back to when I was eight years old. I got my first real grasp at technology which was a gameboy micro. I was eventually so attached to it so much my mom would have to take it out of my hands for me to stop playing with the gameboy. Over the years I haven't outgrown technology but more so technology has engulfed itself around me. Even at the moment I am using technology and so are you if you are reading this right now. As for my little sister, Cyprille, the same thing has happened to her, but in a more all at once type of way. For me, I gradually became in love with technology... For Cyprille, technology was pretty much thrown at her. A lot of new, cool gadgets came out intended for kids; Nintendo DSI, Xbox, Ps3, etc. Since I can't really stop her from using technology, I might as well incorporate it in my blogs.
For the following week, Cyprille and I decided to make this reading assignment more entertaining for the both of us. She will start reading subtitles out loud from various television shows. I believe that by doing this it will make her a better reader because she has to read the subtitles in a certain amount of time before the dialogue changes. At first she didn't like the idea as much because she wanted to watch the show not read it, but then she changed her point of view because I explained to her about setting a goal, reaching the goal and exceeding the goal. She didn't understand what I meant, at all. But she did understand what a goal was and it was what I had explained to her at that very moment.
I like your blog because I can relate to this. I have been around technology my whole life. I too started with a Gameboy and then one Christmas my parents bought me a Nintendo DS and I was totally obsessed with both. My parents had to take them away so I could go outside into the nature.
ReplyDeleteNice blog. I liked how you included the poem because I can relate to it. :)
ReplyDeleteI can relate to your gameboy because I couldn't stop playing with that thing when I was younger. My niece likes to take my phone from me and stare at the screen. She gets so entertained by it. I think younger kids did have technology thrown at them all at once also.
ReplyDeleteI can understand how you became attached to your Gameboy because at one point in my life I was also attached to a gaming system.
