My Laptop

Writing technology have been shaping the way people live since the beginning of time. In the Stone Age, our ancestors used tablets to organize important thoughts, keep track of daily activities, and pass on their knowledge to future generations. Arguably, their method of writing was inefficient as much effort was being put into carving and preserving the tablet, while the end result contained little information relative to its size. As technology evolve, we have refined our methods of writing and have come up with newer, cheaper, and more effective ways to communicate. Living in the age of information explosion, my most intimate experience with writing technology comes from the use of my blue VAIO.

First, my laptop has shaped my style of living for the better. I believe college is a time of exploration and experimentation, where the breadth of one's participation in various activities is more important than depth of involvement in any single one.

For instance, I use it to manage mutual fund investments, organize lecture notes and homework, read the news, edit video clips, etc. There are a multitude of other things I have done with my laptop, most of which are meaningful and essential, and some of which are purely for fun.

I cannot live without my laptop, it's quite simple. Through the years, I have become increasingly dependent on it for day-to-day activities such as corresponding with professors, keeping in touch with families, and friends, as well as organizing personal documents such as music, pictures, and the likes. I still make a habit of carrying it wherever I go, and probably spend more time with this so called writing technology than any other object or person. In the event of an emergency evacuation, it would definitely be the first thing I take and the last thing to let go. My laptop it is a part of me.
