In the future I would like to have camera contact lenses. Just imagine this fun way to take pictures! Okay, everyone, blink hard!
Six
I am a social butterfly! I am outgoing. I always want to communicate with people, and people always want to communicate with me. I use Facebook. It’s a great technological way to send pictures and messages. I’m much more confident in the real world thanks to this communication tool.
Five
When I was 12, I got my first cell phone. It wasn’t anything high-tech, but I loved having my own phone. It helped me become more independent, because I could communicate with my friends whenever I wanted to. Now you can’t get me off the phone! I’ve become much more talkative…
Four
DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) was an awesome way for me to get active using technology. I am a dancer, but when I’m not at dance rehearsal, or performing, I can always have fun and still keep agile using this electronic game. It’s wonderful!
Three
When I first started using a camera, it wasn’t even mine, but I still was very excited. The camera belonged to my older brother. I loved the fact that I could take it anywhere and capture such wonderful moments. I became so curious, and my perspective on everything I saw in the lens helped me learn a lot about people and places.
Two
My family has always been musical. But when I got my first walkman, it gave me the freedom to listen to whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. My listening skills have really improved, and I have also become a composer.
One
When I was little, my first discovery into technology was the Barney show on TV. It was my favorite show, and it helped to teach me about sharing and caring.
