Technology Spring Topic 1

Technology has become a dominant and daily part of our lives. In school we have and use televison, computers, overheads, and video cameras. These things are now things that we expect to see around school and other places we go. For my personal enjoyment I'm lucky enough to have a ceel phone and and itouch. Now while many people have these things they have almost become apart of our lives that we cant live with out. Back when our parents were kids these things where what they dreamt about. They have drasticly changed my life in a number of ways. First of all information and news are alot easier to access. It has also changed what the news is about. With it being so easy to get a hold of and so many people looking at the news, the subjects of news are changing to things like what the movie stars wear last night instead of what is happening in Iraq. While this may be a negetive effect there are some postitive. When I forget to write my homework down or if i dont know when a paper is due I get on the internet and check my teachers website and find out with in a couple of minutes. I think that one of the most significant and most important inventions was the computer/microchip. They have drastically changed everyones lifes. They have opened a new portal, so to speak, to the insite of technology. The microchip will go down in the history books as one of those inventions that is comparable to electricity and fire.

The last 2 weeks have been very hectic, as usual. I have had my first 11-dive meet, which was ASID districts. It was very nerve racking but a great experience! It tought me to never under estimate your capabilities. Then that weekend I had my first soccer tournament for the spring season. It was alot of fun and it felt great to meet back up with the girls and play as a team again. It was a national tournament and we placed 2nd. Even though we didnt come out on top we got a cool medal and had great fun. Then through all of this I have had 4 basketball games and we have lost all of them. The best thing I can say is that its almost over. Then at the debate tournament I made it to seim-finals which is great for my first varsity tournament. Tomorrow is the super bowl! GO SAINTS!!!
