Thanks for the reminder
Haha, thank you for that... I feel slightly lost on this site...
I feel almost like I'm copping out for picking something you already listed, but I feel like I have an interesting connection with the cell phone. I think these days it's common to see even middle schoolers texting in class. I recall ads at one point for the "firefly" cell phone for kids. However, I did not get a cBell phone until the summer after I graduated high school. Previous to this time, I prided myself on carrying around a pocket watch after my wrist watches kept dying prematurely. I remember my teacher for my lit/philosophy class in high school kind of teased me for it--"let's see who can tell time faster." Now, like most of the people I know, I almost always use my cell phone when I want to know the time. But I can use my phone to set reminders for events! And as an alarm clock! I also text too much, but I consider these all wonderful things.
Drawbacks... no service? Then no texting/calling. My house seems to be a black hole that eats everyone's phone signals except mine. Also my phone can only store 50 messages in the inbox and since I discovered how to "lock" happy/cute texts I constantly have to erase messages to make room for new ones.
Technologies I have not tried... The ipad. I don't understand macbooks. I don't really like Apple... their format seems too strange, too foreign to me though supposedly they're supposed to be very "user friendly." I haven't tried using a kindle and that seems pretty cool, for portability, if nothing else. Netbooks seem awesome--like phones with a very large keyboard, or a more portable dvd player. In general, I don't know exactly what opportunities I would have to use these technologies in the course. I also realize that I am considering the word "technology" in a very... contemporary? colloquial? manner. I guess ideally I could play video games, or at least video game roms on the computer. Though I'm familiar at least a little bit with most systems, I'm not very familiar with any version of the Playstation. And that would somehow be relevant. (Though I guess when you consider gender and video games, it's extremely relevant...)
I'm kind of rambling at this point and I'm really bad with closings.
