My name is Felipe, a student at Arizona Western College and an employee at a Japanese restaurant. My everyday life may be organized around three main focuses: school, homework, and my job- but it is never the exact same routine due to the fact that I continuously keep my mind active. As a college student my goals are not to only pass my classes but to be able to graduate and have the skills I require to not drive on a road filled with continuous stress and financial pot holes. Amazingly though in my college experience it has been a lot different than my mother's 6 years ago in the way that technology is can be found everywhere. Changes like taking a Placement test on a computer screen compared to the paper version offered not so long ago, registering online and being able to avoid waiting for hours under several buildings, even contacting professors and counselors is easily accessible through via internet and now many courses are incorporating that homework must be turned in online where it is both posted and graded. But not only are educational facilities incorporating technology, my work environment/ hiring process is vastly changing daily; most business will tell you to visit their webpage to apply for their employments. My generation may not feel it because we grew up with these changes, but I can only imagine the struggle being faced by new comers to college and work fields.

Growing up I experienced technology mainly through cell phone use, computer use, video gaming and with new enhanced televisions. I use my cell phone constantly, there hasn't been a day since I got my hands on a cell phone where I haven't used it. I find myself using for Facebook, text messages and things like YouTube and iPhone apps, rarely do I ever talk on the phone using my voiced. Computers though have aided me through many tasks, from completing research for my college courses to simply contacting a family member all the way in Idaho. Video gaming, we all know is for personal interest and entertainment. But televisions, they have impacted the world since the day they were invented in 1927. From being updated on news, watching movies or shows with the family, even having it play a music channel, I have exhausted the use of my t.v along with all previous technological gadgets.
I am a student at AWC, an employee at a Japanese restaurant, a son a brother an uncle and someone who is like everyone else in this small planet. And technology is part of my everyday life.
Felipe! Which restaurant do you work at again? I totally understand with the applying online situation. I prefer applying in person because then you can dazzle and charm the interviewer.
ReplyDeletePapa San, its a Japanese restaurant :)
DeleteIm the cook/ cashier/ make sushi. But I only got the job because my brother and uncle worked there in high school so they recommended me.
We all grew up with some kind of technology. I remember my childhood playing video games and watching cartoons. I agree with you, TV is one of the biggest inventions. I can't imagine the life without TVs, it would be so different.
ReplyDeleteTime has alloweed technology to evolve too. I watched tv and games too but our generation had a limited resource of tech so we ended up going outside often or being social with hanging out. Now you can be social through the computer so people tend to remain indoors so much
DeleteI agree with the whole online application thing. I believe it is way better to apply and talk to an employer in person because it really lets your personality shine through. If done online, your personality is quietly tucked behind the computer never to be seen.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Its like when you read a text message and you assume the tone the other person is giving, they may be joking and smiling but we can think they are serious
DeleteWow! Felipe, what an awesome blog! Above and beyond. :) Really enjoyed reading this. You should keep blogging, you're good at it!
