My Technology Autobiography

Before this class, I hadn’t really considered the nature and significance of my interactions with technology.  Looking back, however, I realize that technology has influenced what I do and how I think from a very young age.  From playing video games and memorizing the keys on a computer key board as a child, to doing various projects in high school and college, to using an e-reader I have immersed myself in a culture of technology without much conscious thought.   I think that many people have this same attitude of adaptation.  They are introduced to and continue to use technology at least in part because their society expects them to have a certain level of experience with new media in order to be successful.  It is a combination of this desire to meet the standards of an increasingly technology driven society with a recognition of the benefits new media have brought me in many areas of my life that have helped shape me into the user of technology that I am today.  Technology has grown and evolved according to peoples’ demand for knowledge and enterta

My Media Autobiography

In this assignment, the objective behind my work was to portray how the media and a certain medium had influenced me throughout my life. This would lead me to create a personal TV guide that outlines the different aspects, or “Channels” of my life up until now.

The design of my project that many might be familiar with, is taken from a simple Television Guide schedule.

On the other hand, I had put a more personal twist and created a personal television guide that relates to my life, with images that relate to the different “Channels” that are provided.  For example, as seen on the guide, many of the pictures actually relate to the different channels that I had created like Channel 005, which is Family and History. In this sense, the pictures of my family and Hong Kong (Family History) show my family and a little part of my family origins as well. In addition to this, there is another aspect

‘In the Midst’: a multimedia autobiography of a missionary life

The CGCM offers its resources, materials, and personnel to support a variety of unique and interesting websites. In conjunction with an international network of libraries, universities, and interested individuals, the center gathers hard-to-find materials and makes them easily accessible.

Among its newest projects, the center is now hosting CGCM Visiting Researcher Catherine Corman’s “In the Midst.”  This project is the result of several years of interviews Corman conducted with Barbara Beach Alter—an American Presbyterian missionary to northern India. Alter and her husband James rejected conversion as central to missionary activity in favor of service to the surrounding population. The multimedia site was launched in a celebratory gathering attended by over 40 people, including family and friends commemorating Barbara Alter’s extraordinary life as a missionary. CGCM doctoral students Daryl Ireland and Eva Pascal helped design the website to feature Corman’s innovative audio autobiography, which a
