Explore and expand your definitions of technology.

For this assignment, you will be writing a Technology Autobiography in which you:
o Explore and expand your definitions of technology.
o Identify key moments, people, and places in your personal relationships with technology.
o Write an autobiographical essay that explores your relationship to technology.
o Apply your knowledge of various sentence structures in your writing.
Review Examples of Technology Autobiographies written by Michigan Tech Publication Management Students during Fall 1999, as well as A Technology Autobiography by Krista L. Arola in lesson 5.1.
You can use the Technology Autobiography Heuristic as a way to start brainstorming and outlining your ideas.
Write a 2-3 page autobiographical narrative paper that explores the significant interactions you have had with technology during your life and analyzes what those interactions reveal about you (and, if appropriate, others).
o Your paper will tell readers what kind of technology user you are by sharing details about your key experiences with technology.
o Your paper should be written in chronological order, but you may use other structures (such as flashback or flashforward) if they make sense for your story.
o Organize your experiences into a paper that explains how you became the technology user you are today.
o Autobiographies usually use first-person, so you can use first-person pronouns as you tell your story; you can use I in your paper.
o Finally, be sure to use concrete details in your story. Use strong, specific information to make the significance of your interactions with technology clear to your readers.
