I have always been pretty fluent in technology. I am a very curious person and have been known to teach myself how do to many things such as learning how to use a DVD player and set up video game consoles as a kid. As mentioned in the last post, I also have experience in writing HTML for myspace layouts which was self-taught as well. I'm trying to keep up with new technology, but I'm only 25 and I feel like it isn't coming as easy to me as it used to.
I don't consider myself an expert in any "behind-the-scenes" tech stuff like coding and processing and computer specs, but I am not totally unfamiliar. Working on these modules, I have found that I already know the basic HTML commands and am excited to learn more in depth coding to write HTML from scratch.
The newest thing I have learned IT-wise would probably be learning all of the different types of AV cords like HDMI, VGA, RCA, etc... and what devices typically use which cables and how to set up mutiple monitors for a PC. Over the summer, we had a really bad storm and it knocked out power out. Everything seemed to be working when it came back on, but we noticed that the HDMI port on the TV in the living room was no longer working so I figured out that I could use RCA cables instead and recently bought an HDMI to RCA converter so that we could use an Amazon Fire Stick on that TV. When it comes to tech stuff that I can't easily figure out on my own, I turn to Google and get a second opinion from my boyfriend who works in IT.
