Growing up with Technology as a 90's child - Personal Experiences of Technology

When growing up, technology was very basic. Being a 90’s child meant laptops were the new thing and not many people could afford them. As a result of this most households possessed a desktop computer, which allowed you to carry out the very basic of tasks, such as processing word documents using word pad and being creative using a programme called Paint. In addition to this, as broadband or Wi-Fi didn’t exist, we had to wait forever for our internet to connect as the dial up connector was so slow.

Here is a video link showing what technology was like in the 90’s compared to technology today:  https://www.youtube./watch?v=4T2tcXh8044&spfreload=10

    I couldn’t agree more with this post, I cannot remember my household without technology, as it has been in my life for a very long time now. However, in primary school I can remember the joys of paint, it was a great laugh, and all students looked forward to doing tasks using paint.

    As a 90's child myself, this post reflects a lot on my early experiences with technology because I recall the moments of waiting a long time for the internet to connect while sitting behind a 'bulky' desktop computer. I also remember the use of videos and a video player at home and in the primary school, which seems to have become a strange or even an extinct concept for the present day children.

    Even though we did have to wait a long time for the internet to load or there were a few of us having to share the computers in the classroom we didn't know any different did we? We never complained. However, when we had to share the computers, it allowed us all to learn how to share and have manners.
