Computer Geek

I just realized that I am a computer geek. Not only do I get excited when I get to smell a new electronic item straight out of the box, but how I get so excited when I get to plug something in new. I am a geek. That is pretty explanatory. Ever since I was little, I have enjoyed playing with electronics and computers. I think it may have to do with the fact that my dad is an electrical engineer so throughout my entire childhood I have been surrounded by computers and wires and cords. My mom hates it. Every little drawer or cupboard has some kind of cord shoved inside of it. I can not help it though. I find electronics so exciting. I am the kid in class reading about how to connect something through wifi with a spoofing program, or looking constantly about the new technology of laptops that is coming out. I already cannot wait to get a new laptop and I have only had this one for not even two years. There is a new Dell I want, it has a light up keyboard. I think that is pretty fascinating. I also saw that a new Microsoft program has been developed called 7. It sure could beat this Vista crap. Vista has so many problems it is ridiculous. Not only does it take over thirty minutes to start my computer up, but it crashes and freezes all the time. This was not a cheap computer either. It is too bad that after only a coupler years I already need a new one. I don't understand how they can create a program that is so flawed. I probably will have to deal with this one though until I graduate. I don't really need a new one right now, but to get one would be pretty exciting. Maybe at Christmas, my dad will surprise me with something. I feel like he does that a lot. I won't ask for something then all of a sudden their is some new electronic thing sitting in front of me. I always have to ask "what is this?" Eventually I fall in love with it and wonder how I could have lived without it. I don't think I would have been able to function before computers were invented. What would I do with my life all day? I would be pretty bored and honestly probably not be able to function. Computers are what this world revolves around now. I can't imagine going a day without computers in our society. This country would literally crash. People depend on computers for their jobs and school and pretty much to function in life. People even have computers on their phones now. They are with us 24/7. So yeah, pretty much I am a big computer geek. I am the one my roommates always come to when they don't know how to work something. I am kind of like that geek squad from Best Buy.
