Let's talk tech

I was an undergraduate when I first jumped into the world wide web with the free America Online disk that arrived in my mail. My roomates and I hovered around the computer for days--trying out chat rooms, joining groups, and just seeing what was out there. To me, that's the best part of technology--its ability to stimulate our curiosity and allow us to explore. I grew up in a small town I didn't often get to leave and spent my childhood traveling through books. I use technology much the same way--to make the wide world a little smaller and expand my experiences within it. There's so much I have yet to learn and see and do. Nebraska Learns 2.0 has shown me a sea of possibilities, and damn, I'm just dying to swim.

I really like what you say about using technology "to make the wide world a little smaller and expand my experiences within it."
