What's your first tech memory?

Encounters with tech at an early age can make all the difference.

 

In a recent edition of our How I Got Here series Christabella Palumbi, she told us about how time it was the time at Baltimore's Digital Harbor Foundation Tech Center that planted the seed which blossomed into attending the school of engineering at University of Michigan.

 

What was your first encounter with tech? Can you recall an experience as a kid that stuck with you and led to the career in tech you have now? Send your thoughts to baltimore@technical.ly, and maybe we'll use it in a story.
