Core 1 Part 1

As a technology user, I feel that I am well off, but I could be more technologically literate. I feel as I am fairly balanced among the technology categories (multimedia, work-oriented, play-oriented) with the slight advantage going to the work-oriented category. In terms of multimedia I have experience in configuring various mp3 players, mobile devices, dvd players and projectors. When it comes to work-oriented or school technology I have used many research databases, basic computer functionalities (printers, networking) and wrote numerous programs in many languages, such as Visual Basic, Java and C. For the play-oriented category I have delved into surround sound system, gaming consuls, specifically the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360.

Although I have skills in all three categories, I do feel that my work-oriented skills are high than the other two due to the fact that I “work” everyday. My major is computer science so I have to use all of these technologies on a daily basis for school and work. My work-oriented skills continuously grow where as my multimedia and play-oriented skills may sometimes stay stagnant for periods of time. I would like to increase my skills in multimedia and my work-oriented technologies, specifically my work-oriented skills. There is a momentous amount of information that I do not know and that I need to learn in order to be successful. This success starts with getting experience with the various technologies that I have the ability to use.
