Baron Blog Post

Baron talks a lot about the computer and the internet. As a teenager and young adult in this day and age I have had a lot of experience with both of these. Growing up I remember having dial up internet and always making sure I had to ask my parents before I could get on. Then one day we got internet that wasn't connected to our phone and that was amazing. The speed of the internet had sped up so greatly. After this I discovered Facebook because of my cousins talking about it one weekend in Iowa City at a family reunion. I had gotten my entire family involved into the social media trend. Then one day my dad came home with wifi and I could use my Wii as a device to play with my friends online. This was the best gift I had received. I remember that day very vividly. Then I got an iPhone touch after I had saved up all my money for about two years and I could start to use Facebook on my iPod. Then after about Twitter had become a pretty big influential force in the social media sector. After many months of telling myself I would it give in to to Twitter I finally caved and got a page. After this snapchat and Instagram followed very soon. I had started to feel like I fit in with the other people in my age group. This is sad but this is the reality of the internet these days. This is a brief history of how I have personally experienced the changes in the internet over my life time.
