    Growing up, teachers have always told me to be careful and “not believe everything you read on the Internet”. While I am considered a “90’s kid” despite being born three days before the start of the new millennium, I also grew up in the age of smartphones, computers, and, most importantly, the Internet.

    However, before I get to how technology greatly changed my life, let’s go back to the day when I first came into this world, in a hospital not too far from my home in Tianjin, China.

    My brief childhood there was extensively documented through pictures and pixelated home videos as I would be immigrating to Canada when I turned three. My parents wanted me to be able to look back when I was older and remember how we celebrated Chinese traditions and holidays.

    Life was simpler back then; I would spend most of my time playing with wooden blocks, digging holes in the sand, and going with my parents to get popsicles from the local convenience store.

    Upon coming to Canada, I realized that my life was going to be significantly different than in China. Coming home back from school, I would sit in front of the old chunky boxed television and watch Pokémon. I remember getting my first Nintendo Gameboy Color and having only one game to play because my parents didn’t want it to rot my brain.

    Fast Forward to now, technology and social media play a huge role in my daily life. Especially during quarantine, most of my time is spent keeping up with the latest news updates, checking in with friends and family across the world, and staying at home watching Netflix.

    •  Successfully prompting a text-to-image AI model often involves a lot of experimentation in how to add and order words to get the results you want.

A little girl with big dreams

 

    Rebeca Andrade was born on May 8th, 1999 in Guarulhos, Brazil, a city just slightly outside of Sao Paulo. She started gymnastics at the young age of four, when her aunt took her to the gym she worked out at. Andrade found inspiration in Daiane dos Santos, the 2003 World Champion on floor exercise and she wanted to follow in her footsteps.

    But dreams didn’t come easily to Rebeca Andrade. As one of eight children to a single mother, times were hard. Her mother cleaned houses and walked to work in order to pay for Rebeca’s gymnastics lessons. Rebeca herself often walked to the gym, as her mother didn’t even have enough money for her to take public transportation. Though money was tight, Rebeca was determined.
