March
08 1966
to
October 01 1994
, were 28 years of not knowing the role
technology played in our journey to the unseen eternity?
Not only was the technology I was as well.
Everyday technology was making our life convenient and it improved as our
dependence demanded it.
October 01 1994 I, (David Daul) had a Stroke at 28 years old.
My Stroke left me a quadriplegic and unable to speak for communication.
Now, I am among the disabled American and we all depends on today’s
technology to carry out the loses of our own mobility.
That Saturday October second day, I lost my future.
Two years of sleepless nights, the odds stacked against me.
The question that haunted me was, “How do I get back to the future I
lost?” The answer came very slowly
and the schooling began. Little did
I know about today's technology?
The answer began in the days my accident began.
A small piece of technology by Dynavox actually began my future.
I used this technology to speak my thoughts, meanwhile learning the basic
computer functions.
This
date began the long answer to my question,
“How do I get back to the future I lost?”
September 06 2000
I started learning about the different types of
technology available to aide my new mobility.
Finding and learning the differences in ways today’s technology can
bring me up to par
I never have found or bother to find out why computers came so dam easy for me
to learn. I mean I never needed to turn one on, so therefore I didn't even know
how to turn a computer on. We take technology for granted as we take life’s
journey to the unknown. In my
journey to the unknown, I had a stroke. My stroke left me with quadriplegia
unable to order a pizza. Because of
the stroke, I learned how to turn on a computer that helped me order pizza
again.
I am reminded everyday how today’s technology will play out my days to the
unknown. Its places like Aspire’s Technology Today keep me coming back to
teach me today’s technology.
