For my 16th birthday last October, my mom gave me a silver charm tiffany and co bracelet. The dainty charms, I was informed, were more or less symbolic of my life thus far. There’s a soccer ball for my love of soccer, a dog that uncannily resembles my Shiba Inu, Ginger, and a computer. At first I was taken aback. Really? A computer? Is this what helps to define my life? It seemed like a rather impersonal and materialistic representation. But then, recently, I was devastated to learn that my computer hard drive had epically crashed. In the loss of all my files (my digital photos, homemade films and a treasured portfolio of essays), I realized that my computer is somewhat of a lifeline for me. It is very much like an integral extension of my mind, bringing my ideas to life.

There is no doubt that the computer and the Internet have revolutionized communication and collaboration to a world wide level. Through forums and blogs, ideas can be shared with the click of a mouse. There is no longer just one side to a story, and the Internet gives a voice to the people, no matter how biased or false that voice may silver bangles be. The computer and the Internet lend so many opportunities, it would be impossible not to take them all for granted.

My computer ventures are, self-admittedly, not the grandest; in fact, they are seemingly rather trite. I stick to the usuals: e-mail, Word, Google, Facebook, and Youtube. My mundane rituals, however, have jump-started my most glorious life-long hobbies and accomplishments. From watching hours and hours of Youtube, has grown my love for filmmaking and documentaries. Through Word, I’ve written many an English grade-salvaging essay.

My computer may just be made of shiny plastic, along with a fair share of little nano-things, but it’s more silver rings than just a cool technology gizmo. It’s a window to the world, an outlet for creativity. And I wear it optimistically on my bracelet, not only as a symbol of my life, but of the future.
