I am forced to create this blog for my English 326 class but secretly I made this for a special reason. I'm going to be giving away money so keep reading and check weekly for free giveaways.

Good Morning Friends and not Friends
I've never blogged before so if you're reading this, congratulations.
The direction you are considering for your Technology Bio seems to reflect many of the thoughts as expressed in Marc Prensky’s article “Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants.” However Prensky seems to disagree with you when you say, I “probably wasted more hours of my life than I should have” playing all kinds of games. Prensky argues that all that gaming helped you develop your brain in ways that reflect the essence of technology and since “our” world is a technology world, it would seem to me that your experiences would speak nicely to Prensky’s assertions. You are the Digital Native and the Digital Immigrant has much to learn from someone who knows how to articulate their experiences. I look forward to reading your Technology Autobiography. Donna
