My grandma Linda Carter was born in 1954. She said the only technology they had at her school was a typewriter and a sewing machine.

My grandma said, " Out of the two I loved the sewing machine more because I could make my clothes and help my mom and dad if they needed me to make things for them or my siblings".

My grandma believes that the typewriter helped her the most because when she went to nursing school they had to to use a typewriter which later turned into using computers.

When I think of the technology I grew up with I think of television or the Bluetooth speakers we listen to music on. But when I asked my grandma about the types of technology she had at home she said she grew up on a farm and for a long time all they had was a radio and then they got a phone.

She said, "Baby all we had was a radio mama played music on while she cooked and cleaned while me and my 5 siblings would play outside and help daddy on the farm".

I couldn't imagine not having a TV growing up.

My aunt Janina was born in 1982.When asked about the technology she used in school said she used a calculator,computer,microscopes,TV's,VCR.

As a joke she said "we even had space ships at my schools".

At home, she said they had a cordless and cord phone, TV, and a printer. she said they had game systems and she would be in her room playing on her electric keyboard and singing songs

This made me start to think about the technology that I had at home growing up.  Growing up we had TVs in every room and a landline in my mom's room and my room that you could pick up and hear the other person talking on the other end.

I asked my aunt about her first phone and she said she started with a phone that had a cord then a while after she got a VTech phone which looked like the phone in the picture and she said she loved this phone because she could talk on it all the time but I have to share the phone with her brother.

I was born in 2001 so when I think about my first phone I think back to Middle School 6th grade year I had just started to catch the bus by myself and my mom said that it was time for me to have a phone so that I can contact her if anything happened I was so excited it was the simplest phone. But I can't imagine not having access to a phone outside of my house.

I asked my mom about technology when she was in school and she said she didn't really go to a good school growing up so the only technology that really had in her class was a TV and that's basically where they learn anything digital.

For me, that was very shocking to hear because at my school growing up we only had a TV in the classroom if we were having a free Friday and we were watching a movie in the class or the teacher wanted us to see a certain film that required a VCR.

When I asked my mom about her first phone she said she doesn't remember what was her first phone but one of her best memories with the phone what's being at her grandmother's house and there was a rotary phone and she was just figuring out how to use it for the first time and she said she remembers getting so frustrated that she just stopped using the phone and said she just rather talk to the person when she went back home.

That story was very funny to me because I've always been interested in using a rotary phone. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to have a phone and have to spend the numbers and then go back and do all those things just to make one phone call especially if it was an emergency.
