When I was younger, I wondered a lot about what I would like to do when I'm older. I didn't know the answer because it had been with me most of my life. I was interested in information technology and, unknowingly, in new media because my family only had an 1999 Apple PowerBook. This was a bit frustrating at the time because the machine couldn't do all the same things that my friends Windows machine could do. Afterwards I understand why this was a great thing. Because there were no games to play, I entertained myself with image editing and own web pages. I got into the creative virtual world.
