I would like to talk about a piece of technology that I find extremely difficult to use. It is my MacBook. I received the MacBook as a gift when I got my visa to get into one of the top universities in Canada. My dad gave it to me in order to help me with my learning and working in a whole new, different environment. The gift carries sentimental value, so even though I find it difficult to handle, I still keep it with me for different purposes. I remember one time, because I barely use it for my studying purposes, since I couldn't discover all the features of the MacBook as well as I couldn't take full advantage of using Excel, Word, or any apps which the MacBook offers. This is because the features and software are so different compared to the Windows operating system that I usually use at school. So, I decided to use the MacBook for watching my favorite movies or just watching some videos on YouTube, and for learning purposes. I felt very uncomfortable and inconvenient when I tried to browse all the files at the same time because it didn't allow me to open so many files at the same time and search for other resources. I also need to pay extra money to access the resources of the Apple ecosystem, so it's not really worth it.
