For my first post, I thought that I should probably write a little bit about myself and how I was introduced to the world of technology, and maybe a little bit about why you should even read this blog and what gives me the credibility to write all of this stuff (and by stuff I actually mean my opinions on technology, etc.).
I got my first computer when I was about eight years old (at least I think that I did, I can’t remember very well). It was an old HP tower (computers where white back then) and at the time I thought that it had some pretty amazing specifications. As far as I can remember, it had 32 MB of ram, a 20 GB hard drive (I was very proud of this), a CD drive, a 400 MHz processor, on-board graphics, and I think that was about it. Attached to it I had a 17 inch CRT monitor and a 56k dial-up modem. Now, I thought that this was a pretty good setup at the time, except for the dial-up. I have always been a pretty impatient person and waiting for pages to load was extremely unnerving for me. Anyway, I think that Windows XP somehow ran on my computer, and I was pretty happy with it. Ever since then I have been extremely interested in the world of technology; printers, scanners, cameras, mobile phones, laptops, sound systems, software, you name it, and I had researched it. I spent my days on all kinds of gadget blogs, reading and re-reading posts, and then researching their contents. I knew about almost every gadget on the market.
Now, times have changed; I no longer have that old computer, I am no longer 8 years old, and I also no longer have the time to research every gadget on the market, but I try. I don’t have a fancy degree relating to technology, nor do I get paid do do anything related to technology, but I am a gadget enthusiast. I spend every spare minute of my time obsessing over technology, and those spare minutes are what I am going to write about on this blog.
