Over my last 19 years of life, I have seen drastic changes of improvement in technology that has helped in different ways. Ever since I can remember, the beginning days of when I first started using the small electronic baby toys that taught me the alphabet, numbers, colors, and much more. Today, I have many young cousins that play with the same type of machines, and I can see the way young kids are learning so easily because they are having fun with learning.

Whenever I put it down for two seconds, she would be right there behind me waiting to snatch it to play with. My parents would never get mad because she was “learning”. Finally for her birthday in June, she got the newest and greatest leap frog machine. From December to June, it looked as if the machine could do the laundry, dishes, and even make a sandwich it was so advanced. I learned many things on the machine because I didn’t even notice how much I was getting to know from having so much fun. Another device that has benefited society is the cell phone. I can remember back when my mom had her old cell phone. The phone was a basic flat phone that had an antenna and only made calls. My dad’s was very similar. His phone would only work outside of our house and he couldn’t make calls for longer than five minutes before the phone would turn off completely. Today, my
