Being a non-traditional student has presented several challenges for me during my college career. Specifically, the assumption that we are all on the same level technologically. If you haven't guessed yet, I'm not tech savvy on any level. Therefore, I thought about writing my paper discussing my battle with computers, cell phones, Mp3 players and so on. I mean, just keeping up to date is a battle. Think about it, the moment you purchase the newest hottest cell phone with all the bells and whistles, it's outdated and replaced with something even better. I can't keep up.
I think one of the issues I want to discuss it how technology was introduced to me back in the day. And, how hard it was to accept the changes, even today I struggle with keeping up to date with all there is out there. For example, this is the very first time I have ever been on a blog chat. How bazaar is that.

Lisa: I do not really think it is that bizarre. Blogs are a loudmouth's dream to feel more important about something than they think they are.
I recall doing things the old way but have always been fairly tech-savvy as I grew up in an area which has a big computer industry.
What benefits has this new culture given to you?
I always assume that I am tech savvy, particularly because I keep myself current so that I can use the newest technology in the classroom. But I always find ways in which I find that I am not savvy at all! And I also resistant to some things. I took part in a workshop recently revolving around second life. TO be honest I was bored. I did not see the point of navigating a virtual world when I have so much to do in this one. I wonder how much of resistance of some things is age and what is personality.
