Growing up at the turn of the century, I found myself in the midst of the Technological Revolution of the 1990's. More specifically, with the introduction of the internet in 1993, my life couldn't help but be influenced dramatically by the introduction and increasing application of technology in my everyday life. From as early as elementary school, I can remember using computers to create projects, as well as using educational learning programs for subjects such as Math and Reading. In my personal life, and leisure activities, technology has been a source of communication and entertainment. Technology has also made my life incredibly easier- in fact even saving my life at one point. In nutshell, I heart technology.
During this course, I hope to enlighten myself as to the more practical and professional applications of technology in the workplace. Mastering programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint have becoming almost essential in everyday communication, and an increasing amount of lecturing and course material revolves around these programs. I perceive that this class will grant me a better grasp of such things and make me more effective at whatever I will pursue in the future.
Here's a little something about me:
If there was one word out there to describe me, it would have to be "superfantabulous"- which, for those of you unaccustomed to its meaning, falls somewhere between a big hug from your favorite disney character and a free combo meal upgrade. I love people. I really do. But then again, I also love collecting the fuzz between my toes. I'm a guy whose not ashamed to admit he enjoys scented candles and that I actually have a favorite Disney movie ("Beauty and the Beast"). Of course there is the manly side of me, weight lifting, running, spontanious wrestling in public places, trying to be the guy who carries the most folding chairs in one trip. Yeah i'm down with my primal vie for masculine supremacy. But hey, i'm doin my best to bridge the gap between the world of frequent grunting and that of eyebrow tweezing. Every so often i'll pull out a box of cheap chocolates and put on a chick flick- and if afterwards i feel an estrogen overload, i'll just load my BB gun and find something small and furry to pacify. Thats me. Just keepin it real.
