LA-LA-LIBRARIES
My Technology Literacy Narrative begins at the young age 6 at the turn of the new century. 1999, the year of Intel Celeron, the Blackberry, and the life changing Mac OS X. I am the youngest of three, I have an older sister named Michelle and my Irish twin brother who goes by John. Irish twins in the sense that we were born only eleven months and twenty-three days apart, my siblings and I are not Irish, nor one bit.
NOKIA BRICK
The famous Nokia 5190, a cellphone so large that we would compare it to a brick. During recess in the second and third grades I would spend my time eating my lunch and playing the Snake Game on the Nokia’s screen that was no longer larger than an inch across diagonally.
Elementary schooler or architect
While the average nine year old was playing Disney computer games or having a crack at the classic Minesweeper, I was designing and decorating floor plans and virtual homes on actual architecture and design software that my brother and I would convince our dad to buy us because we treated them like video games.
DELIveries and deadlines
All of my opportunities to become literate in new media and writing technologies have lead me to this very moment, my current literacy level. The culmination of my literacy narrative, at least this current chapter, is using all the technologically savvy skills I have developed throughout my life to write, read, study, and use my cell-phone recreationally while working.
