Module 8

            If it wasn’t for computers I honestly do not know where I would be today because I am majoring in NTM so if it wasn’t for computers I probably would not be going to college. I also would not have a job because that’s all my job is based on.

            I have known since I was thirteen that I wanted to work with computers for the rest of my life. Ever since I actually started using them and figuring out how they worked and all the things you could do with them I have wanted to learn more and more about them. I haven’t met another person that has known what they’ve wanted to do for the rest of their life that young and stuck with it.

            However if there weren’t computers my hand writing would probably be a million times better. I’ve never really worked on my hand writing because I’ve always just thought why would I write something down when I can type it at least four times faster? The last time I checked I could type one hundred words a minute on an actual keyboard and about eighty on my laptop.

            I’m an IT Developer for a small company called Reading Horizons. If it wasn’t for computers I would not have a job. My whole job revolves around computers. If I didn’t have computers I probably would be doing construction or some kind of hard labor. I would have just skipped going to college all together and I would have just tried to make as much as I could working hard labor. I’m very grateful that I don’t have to do that because that sounds awful. I absolutely love what I do and I’m so grateful for the opportunity that I’ve gotten from computers.

            Computers are such a big part of my life I use one every day. Some people would hate that because they don’t like sitting and starring at a computer screen all day. However I don’t see myself spending my life any other way. Computers are my passion, if I’m not doing schoolwork or working I’m playing computer games all the time. My life would be exponentially different if it wasn’t for them. There are some downsides to computers but there are just so many upsides from using them.
