Story 13
So, my story begins freshman fall semester. How old are you? Right now? Or like when I was a freshman? When I was a freshman, I was 18. So, picture an 18-year-old freshman who's entering architecture with no architectural background at all. So, I was doing, it was around November for our midterm or our final review, and I was doing my work, and I was in CU for like 12 hours, and I was working on my Rhino because I had to make my model and like make all my drawings and stuff, my floor plans. And I'm working and I'm working, and all of a sudden, the computer just crashed. So, I lost all of my stuff, and nothing was saved, and I had to like start all over, and this was two days before I had to leave for Thanksgiving break, so I was so mad because I had to stay up all night. So, this is just an example of like showing that technology is not always dependable because sometimes it will crash on you and you'll lose everything. But in my field, for example, I don't have to do everything with technology. I can also do sketches. I can do drawings. I can do things with my hands that I don't have to do with my computer. So, it's like in a sense like that, it's like if I know I do a hand drawing, I know that I'll always have my work. But if I do a digital drawing and everything crashes, then I just lose it, so. Do you think it's easier to do by hand or like technology? It's definitely easier to do it with technology because it's basically doing it for you, and you're just cleaning it up. When you do it by hand, it takes a lot more time because you have to sit there and do all the measurements yourself and make sure your lines are straight and make sure your hatching is correct. So, the only difference between technology and like doing it by hand is that technology is definitely like a quicker way of doing things, and when you do it by hand, it's going to take you like twice the time it would take you if you'd use a laptop. Wow, good story. What did you learn? I learned that when I'm doing my work on my computer, make sure your autosave is on and make sure that you're saving every second that you can. So, basically like when I'm working now that I'm a sophomore, it's like I'll work for like 10 minutes and then I'll save it. Or I'll work for like 5 minutes and I'll save it. So, whenever I make like major changes, I make sure that my stuff is saving, whether my autosave is on or not on because I can't lose my stuff, man. Yeah, okay.
