In ancient times people used to struggle with several common tasks such as writing a message, storing data and making it available to one or several recipients in a way that it did not involve too many steps to make it possible to be sent. So as the time past human race looked for ways to facilitate all those procedures in a more effective and quicker way than before. And all that became possible once humans improved their technologies.

In my early years, I was completely illiterate regarding to electronic matter, I was a mere boy with no purposes to use those technologies, mainly because I was not aware of their existence. As I was growing and started my school courses, I was introduced to pc´s and then taught to use them first with puzzles and games designed for the PC mainly oriented to little children. Later when I enrolled to the junior high school I was taught how to use school programs, such as Microsoft Windows environment as well as its productivity software, because at that time the teachers already wanted students to be able to deliver their school assignments in a more formal way, instead of having them delivered in a handwritten form. Also during my junior high school stage, I was taught to search the web, event that helped me with my academic assignments at that moment. Furthermore, it allowed me later to communicate with people overseas, and at the same time to know more about other trends and cultures.

Nowadays, I am more literate concerning electronic technologies, it could be said that I am more involved on the matter. The electronic technologies besides making my current work more easier, has also allowed me to enhance my use and knowledge of the English language. Moreover taking English courses in the school, I feel that using electronic devices and surfing the web have made me improved my grammar as well as the acquisition of more vocabulary. But the latter had not only helped by improving my native and foreign language, it has also allowed me to facilitate daily tasks. The use of the current trends and technological advances have also made me capable to finish my work more quickly, as well as to communicate with anybody anywhere.

In the future I expect the technologies to suit me when it comes for me to teach, to provide me the tools to deliver a meaningful teaching, all that in the professional matter. In other issues I want to become able to manage all the upcoming technologies, as well as to become aware of the new technologies that facilitate my professional work as well as my leisure time.

To conclude I must say that as humanity evolves, the methods and ways to communicate also do. So no matter which language people speak there will be always a way to shape communication, all thanks to technology. So then humanity will not struggle as long as technology moves forward at the same time.
