Middle Class Low-Techness

The story of Jill and Sally in Literate Live in the Information Age most resemble my own story of technology.  When I was a kid I remember using the computer labs in school to play math games and The Oregon Trail. The math games were fun and going to the computer lab was always cool. Like Jill and Sally, when I was a kid my parents bought a desktop pc for the family.  It was really crummy in today's standards but at the time it was awesome. It was a 1995 Windows HP. I mostly played computer games and demos of computer games. I also used it to write papers for school. We didn't get the internet until we bought a better computer in 2001.
