JUSTIFICATION:
As an active technology user, I use technology in my every day life maybe more so than the average person. Working from home, my entire job relies on communicating through technology. As a designer, I also use computers and technology more often daily when I create designs for the print and web. One of the artifacts I have created for this college in DTLA which decided to promote their Health Information Technology department. The flyer I have created have the neccesary information for the students who are thinking to enroll to this program. I have been working with the administrative department while building this flyer back and forth via emails and FTP file sharing systems.
Needless to say, using technology to communicate and basically perform my job duties is a enormous part of my daily life. So much, if for any reason I am unable to connect online or access to any network, I have to drive into the main areas in the city and utilize their network directly and work there or I use my smartphones tethering option to connect to network and share my files with my students and my clients that I am working for.
