        I have learned many things during the semester i learned how to use different types of programs and software. Some softwares are Microsoft Excel, word, powerpoint. I learned how to graph on Excel and also some shortcuts within them to make charts. in word i used to use Word Art and also to change the sizes of that text and also put it in a different style. I can make the text different colors and also have the text have shadows and the text will look more decorative. In powerpoint i learned how to use master slides and edit them to make a presentation look more professional. These skills will help me achieve my goals.

In addition to this, technology is important for my career because the careers i am interested in are software programming, computer engineer and computer science. All these careers involve knowledge about computers. In computer engineering, I have to know about the computers and what makes up a computer and also how people might get viruses while them realizing, If i know this then i can clean up viruses from computers and make them good as new.

   There are some other technology skills that i would like to learn. some skills are how to make a computer. Also how take pieces of a computer and learn how to put them together properly and make your own computer. So  then you can put as how much memory you want and also the speed (GHz).
