Technology: How Has It Impacted My Life. Technology has influenced my life with ease, convenient, and available resources. Technology has also demanded many technological challenges in my life. Such as: learning to operate a new cell phone or a new computer program. The availability of earning a degree from home, via a computer, is the most convenient resource of today.

Without a computer I would not be able to complete my education, or conduct personal business, (because many banks and retail company’s require the use of computers for business interactions, today) and I unable to physically walk around in a college campus, because of health issues. There are several technological terms still foreign to me, such as Microprocessor (motherboard), Ram (electronically read and written), and Rom (Read-0nly), megabytes (millions of memory bytes), gigabytes (billions of memory bytes). These words are either above my head, or confusing. Microprocessor, referred to as the motherboard, is extremely complicated, therefore above my head. Ram and Rom, megabytes and gigabytes confuse me to their meanings quite often. I can’t seem to remember which one, read and write or read-only, and million or billion, goes with which word. I do know Ram is memory, and something that I have to keep an eye on so my computer does not run slowly. I have learned to keep an eye on my computer’s memory, Ram.
