I taught myself BASIC computer programming and was frustrated at the fact that the only way to store information was on a tape recorder. Talk about the dark ages. I used to get mad when hours of work were lost because of the obvious glitches using a tape recorder for data storage would Skip Howehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737977986266639788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005114591173102634.post-64431664866963753082010-07-19T16:41:40.567-04:002010-07-19T16:41:40.567-04:00I tech because of my grandfather.

We usually got his "old" computers as he had to have the newest at all times so he could stay up to date with all the new technologies. I too remember getting online for the first time with Prodigy at his house and thought it was the coolest to hook his laptop up to the DeenaWarwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172370791769677731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005114591173102634.post-20950933674793394622010-07-19T16:19:28.268-04:002010-07-19T16:19:28.268-04:00I'm not necessarily a Mac or a PC.

I think my tech interest springs from my dad always messing with computers and my brother, Matt's love for them as well. Then, I married a techy! I just love the opportunity that technology allows for us to be connected!Becky Goerendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14297050793456171803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005114591173102634.post-80564282919873248282010-07-19T15:22:43.717-04:002010-07-19T15:22:43.717-04:00Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Although I had a computer when they were born in the late 80's, it was when they were in school that I really became more engaged in tech. I made it through college and a good part of my master's degree with only a typewriter if you can remember those ;-) When I think about many of the Joan Young (aka Mancini)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06862764260067132727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005114591173102634.post-22182236755255499542010-07-19T11:49:44.764-04:002010-07-19T11:49:44.764-04:00Great post!

People always ask me why I am so into movies, the answer is that is the way my dad and I would communicate, to talk about movies. As for being a tech, I just love tinkering with things until they do what I want them to. Good post, got me thinking!Mr. Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01624395939050304195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005114591173102634.post-38939571940454095112010-07-19T11:41:34.661-04:002010-07-19T11:41:34.661-04:00Awesome post!

I spent the majority of my summers playing in the office on the good old Apple IIE. Memories! <br />I feel like I was destined to become a teacher. I had it in my blood. I was teaching from the time I was 2 or 3. My parents have pictures of me sitting in my littleMrs. Tenkelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943016358147486172noreply@blogger.com
