Introduction
Technology assists us in most of our activities. It became necessity to some, especially to those of the younger generation. Students, or should I say, their parents have spent a lot to buy the various gadgets. In the University where I work, I observed that most of the students have with them their own laptops or notebooks. They also have the latest cellular phone models and mp4 players or ipod.
I remember the first time I have a computer subject was when I was in grade 6, which was in 1993. The ratio of computer to students that time, at least in our school, was one is to eight. Most of us were even afraid of having hands on exercise because we might cause damage to the computer and I believe it was really expensive that time.
During the 90s, some of the products of technology which I had or used was Nintendo family computer, pager, pay phone which uses a card, and during the late 90s, the nokia 5110. Today, technology indeed has changed a lot. From the Nintendo family computer, to sega genesis console, to play station and game boy, now, I am not even familiar with the xbox and Wii. I even got tired of updating myself of the latest cellular phone especially nokia, which most of the people I know refer to as a “disposable” cellular phone.
