An anecdote...

An anecdote is "a short and amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person", well, this time your task will be telling one of those stories, that has really happened to yourself, but there is something else about it, your anecdote MUST be about English, we all have had interesting stories aabout a word we don't understand, or a funny thing we read, let's share those experiencies, and to inspire you, take a look at this video that will help you understand certain language differences.

Dear all,
Technology is definitely an important part of our lives, we surf the Internet everyday, have more thatn 100 channels to watch on TV and can't live without our smartphones. In the case of engineers, your calculators are almost a friend that helps you daily, and the list of technological objects in our homes is almost infinite: stereo systems, microwave ovens, mp3 players, lsptopd, tablets, DVD/Blue-Ray Players, Videogame Consoles... you name it.
What I want you to write about in this blog post is about your relationship with technology, what are the objects that you use the most and why.
I also want you to tell me a story, of when, where, how and why you used a piece of technology you love for the first time. I will be waiting for very good stories in this blog post.
Have a good writing time!
