iWrite - Emily Salamanca

                           If I had been born twenty years earlier, I think my life would be incredibly different. Even imagining back to when my older sister was in high school in the early 2000s, she seemed to lead a totally different life than me. I imagine her limited use of the internet and computers (which are my technology medium of choice), was like the world in 1994. I remember her booting up her computer, taking about an hour or so to do so, then another thirty minutes to open up Microsoft Word and then being able to start writing a document. Now, needless to say, this was probably better than a person 20 years ago trying to type, but it still seems incredibly antiquated (ooh, a vocab. word) to me.
                           My relationships surely would not differ. I barely use the internet as a social resource. I occasionally send a quick message to a friend, but I mostly use the internet to inform myself about the world, or to study. Likewise, not having a phone wouldn't impact me much either. I pride myself in having a flip phone - and barely being able to use it at that. I use my phone to call my mom if I want to stay late for a math session, but that's it. I've had the phone now for 6 months, and it's been lost for most of that time.
                           I would still like to continue living in this period because I don't rely on my technology too much like many of my classmates do, but...since you never put a time limit on when we could travel to, I don't know. I think it'd be pretty cool to live in Ancient Rome. Heck yeah. Latin and stuff.
