Week 5 Post 2, Melissa

Last week, I purchased my first car. As I drove home in my “new car glow”, I smiled as I sang along to my newly activated XM satellite radio and watched my shiny new toy zip down US41 on my spiffy new navigation system. I rushed home and offered to take everyone out for coffee in a not so discreet effort to show off my new baby. It was in the Starbuck’s lobby that I realized the extent to which technology has affected our lives.
For my post 2 this week, I decided to go way back to the beginning. The above excerpt is from A1, our technology autobiographies. I picked this particular assignment because I wanted to kind of contrast with the work that I have already done. You can look at this assignment, and then check out a few of my other post 2's and see just how far I've come. It's a pretty interesting read, so if you want to read further, click here!
