My Start With Google- Not very Good



As a millennial who does not use much technology, I feel very out of place sometimes. We are the generation of technology know-how, I go to a high school focused in the STEM education (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics), and I have the resources; but I never became a tech person. I have used it for family connection, music and schoolwork; and even that was more CMT. Now in my current class, I am branching out; with Blogger, Twitter, YouTube and Google+. 

Google+ for so far is very weird, and I feel ridiculous saying that. I still have not used it much, starting with our group project, getting connected with the group. It is an interesting process. I’m starting to use Google Hangout, and that seems a little easier. I also have always enjoyed Google Calendar. It puts pop-ups on my phone, reminding me of doctor appointments, quizzes, and other important deadlines and such.

I really like learning about the background of Google itself. From how the founders do not really like each other, to how they run their company. Their ‘campus’ buildings are incredible. Growing up, many of my friends talked about wanting to work for Google. Be it at that time, it was solely for the fun we had seen in the company. I did a report last semester on their driver-less vehicles and the progress they had made. I personally think it is incredible technology that could prevent a lot of vehicle accidents, though not something to be put into place regularly for a long time.  To truly have accident prevention, it would need to be widely available, affordable, and used. 


But when it comes to the connection parts, I lack. But I suppose that is what this class is for. Improving my lacking social media skills, and provide background. Crossing my fingers, hand on a textbook, here’s to hoping.
