Assignment 2: iWrite: Thomas Stokes

Has technology affected you in a majorly positive way? What happened? I feel like technology has helped me majorly in a positive way. Ever since I was little, my older brother always seemed like he knew everything to me. He was always tinkering, taking apart my father's old eMachine, or pulling apart Nerf Guns, he was always doing something. This heavily influenced me while I was growing up. Since a young age I aspired to become as adept as him at this "tinkering" or "deconstructing" and this finally culminates in my building of my own computer during the 8th grade. I still use that computer today, even if I have replaced some of the parts, its still the same computer to me. Im writing this post on it now, and Ill probably write all my blog posts on it. In this matter technology has given me my goals. Another way technology has helped me is that it lets me connect with my friends, no matter where they are. Whether it be Skype or Steam, Im always talking to my friends, or playing something with them; like Magic: the Gathering. Technology has always helped to improve my quality of life.
