sky

A new way to enjoy sports

Sky TV was a relatively new concept at this time and it meant that you had got a lot more options to choose from on your TV. There were things like Nickelodeons Keenan and Kel and Sister and TCCS Saved By the Bell and I could watch what I wanted and when I wanted to.

I can remember watching my first game on sky like it was yesterday I went down to my cousin’s house as we did not have Sky at home. So then when we got sky TV at home it was brilliant to have such choice

Nowadays I would watch a lot of shows on Sky from Nickelodeons I Carly and Victorious also cartoon Networks Ben 10 and Disney XDs Kickin It and also more adult shows like sky ones  Raising Hope and sky livings Criminal Minds and Supernatural also British shows like Mount Pleasant  . I think that what Sky have done for television is impressive and amazing 

It is amazing how far that something can go in such a short period of time from sky to digital now every body must use digital. If you get an idea and it works you would be amazed how far it can go 

how technology has helped me at school

How technology helped me at school

I moved school and this was a much better experience for me.  One of the difficulties I had was my writing was hard to read so the teachers in the school were able to get me a small typewriter so I could do my work and the teachers could read it. The typewriter was quite large but it was light enough so that i could carry it with me when I needed to go from class to class. It was called a Cannon Starwriter.

It was here that I was introduced how to use the internet whether for research or for my own personal reasons. When I started it was like a whole new world was opening up for me in a brilliant new way. How you could use a search engine to find what it was you wanted in seconds but there were problems with videos and this problem still has not been sorted to this day but the length of time it takes to find something is quicker 

At this school I helped in the Library which had a computer system for storing and finding books. When I left the secondary school I then went to College.

This is where my interest in media started. There were times at the tech where I was doing very little so I used to play 8 ball pool online.
At College I got interested in Media Studies and  my interested really started to develop.

Technology is something that you need to learn at school as it will make you a lot smarter in the long run

My first PC

The computers at primary schools were quite basic. There were games for learning but the one game that I remember very well was a game where you had to move this small ledge left and right to make sure that a square doesn’t goes into the black. I must have spent hours on it again this probably helped my concentration.

One of the first things that I remember is how basic the writing packages were when it came to computers and I look at all the options and shortcuts that there are now. There are many more choices  on games My uncle got me a CB radio for Christmas when I was about nine. I remember spending a lot of time on it.  My CB name was Shadow (gladiators ITV) from the We E and I used to talk to people on CB channels. The concept was to get involved in other peoples conversations so I loved it

Talking to someone on a CB radio was very tricky especially when you think that all you could hear was an analogue frequency (when you tune in your TV). This was one of the things that annoyed me a little bit.

I feel that is important to get children on computers as soon as you can not just for work for games and other things too
