I was fortunate enough to have been born in 1972. What that means is in high school my "word processor" was a typewriter and only the very, very wealthy had a Macintosh with a dot matrix printer to write with. Very few people knew what a computer network was (Heck, computers only existed in Star Wars) and the internet did not exist. (Al Gore hadn't invented it yet.) I talked my Dad into buying me a Commodore 64...but I had no clue what to do with it.
It was not until I reached the university level that I really began to use technology. Even then, I only used my Mac to write papers. I didn't have any games (that's what the arcade was for), and the internet was only available to the geeky engineering majors. This state of affairs basically lasted until I graduated in 1995.
Imagine my sense of culture shock when I began the credential program in 2009. Holy crap! I began using EEE to turn in assignments and schedule my days. The internet was my best friend when it came for researching. and I used email and Google applications to plan and complete group projects. I used Video Cameras to document my TE. I used my Mac to schedule all my classes, assignments and important dates. Technology is cool.
