If I had never had contact with a computer my life would be entirely different. From my career choice, interest in music, to even my daily lifestyle. It was not long ago when computers were only owned by a select few. Now it is almost unheard of not to own a computer in the professional world. Who knows what I would be doing with my life without them, seeing as I am hoping to major in graphic design.
Social networks such as facebook have enabled me to keep in contact with many people I would not be able to without a computer. It is truly amazing. Why make a long distance call when you can send an email at your convenience? Why buy stacks of cds for a bulky player when you can simply download mp3’s and store thousands in your pocket? Any bit of information you crave is at your fingertips. For example, thanks to an online article I stumbled upon a few years ago I am now a vegetarian. It was a very large change to my lifestyle, which may have never happened without a computer. It enabled me to expand my knowledge on the subject without a library card. Computers have become a large part of my life; I couldn’t imagine it without them. Well that’s a lie, I could fantasize, but believe me, I really wouldn't want to!
