My Education

This is my second year here at The University of Maine as a Kinesiology major with a concentration in Exercise Science. I absolutely love my major and hope it sets me up well for a future that I will enjoy. I'm in classes that I see immediately relevant to my future career and in others that I feel I could do without. I use technology in the classroom on a daily basis, whether it be using my iPod on my way to class, my laptop for notes in class, or I admit-my cell phone for the occasional text message. Being a Kinesiology major I think that I use the computer technology less than say-an engineering or business major. However, I think that technology doesn't have to be limited to "smart" items such as PDA's, cameras, phones, etc. Technology to me could be a skin-fold clamp, or the technologies used to calculate the amount of fat on the body when doing hydrostatic testing. Many people only view technology as the newer, better, smarter, faster items. Although I believe people mustn't be so close minded and realize any invention or anything engineered, can be considered technology. Daily I use simple and complex technologies to educate myself as I believe most everyone else does too.
