Happy Birthday, Oh Captain, My Captain!

Have a wonderful one, capn_ahab


Okay, I have a serious request for my academic career. I need everyone to please comment me or email me (vivien529@aol.com) for a paper I'm researching. I need you to think back to senior year of high school/freshman year of college and list all items of technology that you personally used on a daily or weekly basis. Please list your dates, as well. I especially need my younger and/or non US Friends to contribute, but all data is welcome.

The paper is on How the digital divide between Digital Natives (those born in the late 80's) and Digital Immigrants (the rest of us) will affect teaching and learning internationally and I just want to get a feel of what all of your experiences with tech (from calculators to vcrs to video games to iPods to fancy tech doohickeys I have no clue about since I'm a DI)

Thank ya kindly in advance!

Tek-noll-oh-gee?
Hmmm.

Born 1967. American, or Texan if that helps. Senior year of high school/freshman year of college was 1985.

I used ... a telephone, with a wire that went into the wall and this curly cord that connected the handset to the body of the phone.

I had no computer.

I had a handheld calculator, but I never used it because I was a music major!

I had no VCR, but I did have a TV that I watched a lot.

I had a cassette tape player/radio and I did use that all the time. Oh, and a RECORD PLAYER that I didn't use much.

I had a car.

No video games.

That's all I can think of!

Thanks dahlin! So how did you turn in papers? Did you hand write them or use a typewriter or none of the above?

Smooch!
