Digital natives/ Immigrants

I find myself in the grey area between Native and Immigrant. I remeber learning things the "old" way through writings, but also remeber being put in front of the TV to "keep myself occupied". An example of my migration would be my typing class in high school. In the early, eary 90's, typing wasn't offered until high school and was done on a type writer. I feel that I have to recieve information fast, but, still have to print out things to read from my computer.

Tech history

My earliest memories of "technology" are using our Atari and jealously playing my cousins Commodore. After that, my teen years were spent being a long haired "new hippie" who was anti- technology. Aftwer joining the military as a combat photograhper, I HAD to learn photoshop to fix my photos. I was a horrible photographer. Now I have a degree in digital graphics . The entire Adobe suite is my friend.
