Technology Autobio Thesis

My experience with technology started at an early age. Before I was ten years old I had my own computer and played one or two computer games. I became obsessed and amazed at the way I could be transported to another world in a video game. The concept of a computer however was more confusing to me, but I was curious nonetheless.

Tickle Me Elmo on fire

This youtube video is something apparently over 2.5 million people have seen as of writing this. Elmo is set on fire and the doll reacts by laughing its head off. I laughed my head off too to be honest. I thought it was funny. I don't really see what the problem is with this, I mean, it's just a stupid toy. Toys are for our own amusement so why the hell not burn it up. I wouldn't recommend everyone do it though because if you don't want a toy you can always donate it to the Goodwill or some other organization.

WWII Poster

The colors are dark, moody and red-tinted. The font is very formal, and readable too. The arrangement of things is well spaced and realistic. The flag behind her means she has someone overseas and is waiting for him (or her) to return. The message on the image converys this too. It encourages women to go against conventions and get a job helping out the war effort. The woman looks very much like many women of her time too. The hairstyle and clothes perfectly fit the forties. This makes it very relatable.

Digital Native

I am absolutely a digital native. I grew up in the digital era and I'm sickeningly familiar with all the internet memes. The first time I used the internet it was for napster. I still largely contribute to internet traffic and even have a youtube channel (sort of). My parents fall into the immigrant category because they need much handholding when it comes to the internet and technology. My mother even holds her ipod upside down and my dad finds that 'invisible cord' commercial funny. All in all I'm a victim of my generation, not that it's all bad (insert lol here).
