How did technology help you as a student?

TECHNOLOGY THROUGH TIME

In this generation where technology is predominantly emerging, it is quite inevitable that this has become a necessity rather than a desire.

Technology has been my aid ever since I started my education – even up to this point. I even spend most of my time with technology, thanks to my Asus K42JK laptop.

Through the years, I was able to cope with the trend and comply with school’s requirement with technology at my side.

As far as my memory serves me right, I was in the third grade when we started using manual projectors and acetates during our oral presentations in class. Since I had a terrible penmanship during that time (even today) I had to seek help from my dad, who had exceptional handwriting skill.

Also, I still recall our computer class (yes, computer class) when we still have this bulky, command-first-type, MS-DOS computers during our elem days.  Our professor, Mrs. Marites Balde had to fill our whiteboard with all those commands before letting us proceed to our preferred program. And since I would take us an hour to complete the commands written, then we will have less time playing “Busy Town”.

Before computer, there was also typewriter.

The last time I tried using a typewriter was during my freshman year in high school. Yes, I still used my great grandmother’s typewriter even with the existence of Pentium 4 computers at that time.

It was fun remembering such old-school, yet cool memories filled with innocence and ignorance during my elementary and high school days but still, with the aid of technology, I was able to learn and adapt from these changes.

Through technology, I was able to fulfill my duties and responsibilities as a student regardless of challenges that come my way. From doing research works, ,writing articles, computations, presentation, uploading reviewers and lessons, to sharing my sentiments and grievances, technology has been always there for me.

Indeed, technology has made my life easier not just as a student but also as an individual seeking boundless knowledge.
