welcome to my journal

My name is Lauren Coffey.I was born and still live in Staten Island,New York.I go to I S 5 1 and I am in the seventh grade.The technology I use everyday is the t.v, and the laptop.I mostely go on the laptop because my computer is really slow.Also on the t.v,I sometimes play on my playstation.When I go on the laptop,I'm usually on either text twist,sporcle, or youtube.

Sometimes I use the toaster, the microwave,or my boombox.My brother is always watching t.v, or listening to his ipod in full volume.I mostely watch t.v if I'm not on the laptop.My sister really uses the same technology as me.The only technology my mom and dad use that I don't is there cars.

Really,without technology I wouldn't know what I'd do.My brother would probaly just workout or read a book.My dad use to take the Staten Island ferry to work five days a week.I just hate that alot of technology kills the environment.All technology was invented by someone,and I must of been hard.The t.v. looks hard to actually play the shows,movies,and comercials.
