Essay Example on A Life Changing Device Literacy has not been a hard Concept

A Life Changing Device Literacy has not been a hard concept for me to understand Growing up as one of the youngest of seven children I picked up vocabulary and knowledge from my older siblings When they were studying words out of the dictionary or encyclopedia I would be looking over their shoulders to see the words as well I remember quizzing my sisters with flash cards so they could prepare for a test Again I picked up on knowledge from reading those cards So going into upper elementary middle and high school I was placed in the advanced classes since my knowledge was so broad I am not saying that I was a know it all I still struggled to understand some more complex words and words that came from different languages that still managed to pop up in school textbooks or some of the urban fiction books I would read in my spare time This made my head hurt I felt as though I wasn't getting the full understanding or picture that the paragraph of the book was trying to help me visualize because I couldn't find the meaning of words such as gratuitous and peruse I would have to go to Google and search the words or pull out the dictionary which I dreaded to do more than anything else However in 2011 Amazon came out with product that would fix my worries the Kindle Fire Now for those who don't know what a Kindle Fire is it is an electronic reading tablet that enables you to purchase and download books magazines and newspapers and games directly to your device It's like your own electronic book with thousands of different books It's very inexpensive and I still use it to this day 

Mrs Kerns knew how much I loved to read and so she bought a Kindle Fire for me When I had finally woke up after my surgery my mom had told me what Mrs Kerns had brought me Now I was extremely excited but also heavily sedated so my reaction to the news was a hearty smile and then I fell back to sleep I was mentally unaware of everything for days because I was always sleeping from the pain medications that was given to me but once those had started to wear off and I could stay awake for more than an hour I was finally able to set up my Kindle After I had finished setting up all my games and downloading the books that I wanted to read you could not pry me away from my Kindle I was on it so much that I had to keep it connected to the charger all day or else it would die within the first couple hours Throughout the years I've kept a Kindle with me which has enhanced my vocabulary and knowledge Unforeseen events led me to having my own device which I still cherish to this day I would recommend anybody to have this device because it helps in so many ways Over the years as my knowledge deepens I start to read more advanced books and continue to build on my literacy mainly using my favorite device the Kindle Fire
