    It was an exciting day when I first encountered an AI assistant. I had heard about the technology for a while, but this was the moment I would interact with it directly. The AI, named Kimi, was said to be advanced, capable of understanding and responding to a wide range of queries.Curious and a bit skeptical, I opened the application on my device. The interface was clean and user-friendly, which made the initial encounter less intimidating. I typed in my first question, something simple: “What’s the weather like today?” Almost instantly, Kimi responded with the current weather conditions and a brief forecast for the day. I was impressed by the speed and accuracy.My first encounter with Kimi had shown me the potential of artificial intelligence to enhance our lives, making tasks easier and providing information at our fingertips. It was a glimpse into a future where human and machine collaboration would become increasingly seamless and beneficial.

    The moment when I had the chance to use a new smartphone at the age of 7 will always bring me back to the joy and excitement I felt as a child. As we all know, having a smartphone in an ordinary family ten years ago was quite rare, so it was a novelty for me. For some reason, my dad got a new one, small but functional. I still remember being so curious that I couldn't wait to explore every aspects from games to online shopping,whcih not only helped me to develop a sensibility of internet but also bring me a lot of fun.

    When I was young, my father drove a big truck to a long distance to pick up goods and didn't come home often. My mother went to work from morning to night every day. I also had a younger brother who was four years younger than me. I can't remember when exactly, there was an old mobile phone at home. It couldn't do much, or maybe it was because we were too young to know how to use it. When we were bored, we just changed the wallpapers on its screen, watching the maple leaves falling into the lake on the screen and creating ripples one after another. All we knew was that when our parents wanted to reach us, this little gadget would ring. We could slide the green circle on the screen to hear our parents' voices.
    Later, due to long-term overwork, my father had to come home every day, and my mother also changed her job and didn't stay out from morning till night anymore. My brother and I got new mobile phones as well. One day, by chance, I came across this small old mobile phone. To my surprise, it could still light up when connected to the power supply. There was a sizzling sound of electric current, which was its indistinct startup music. I found the ways to access the Internet and the photo-taking mode from those software that I didn't recognize before, and realized that everything was so simple. After a while, it went completely black, just like an octogenarian falling into a satisfied sleep after seeing that new lives had firmly taken over his job.

    I started using a new phone last year. My old phone was broken and couldn't be fixed well. The new phone has better things like a good camera for nice pictures and a fast part that makes apps run well.

    At first, it was hard to use. There were a lot of new things to get used to. For example, a new way to control took some time to learn. But after a few days of trying, I could use it well.

    This phone is very helpful. The camera lets me take great pictures when I travel or in daily life and I can share them. The fast part lets me play games without problems. And the battery lasts a long time so I don't worry about it running out during the day.

    Let's say it was the first time I encountered a new type of virtual reality (VR) device. When I was first introduced to it, the sleek design of the headset immediately caught my attention. It was light - weight yet felt very sturdy.

    As I started using it, I was amazed by the immersive experience it offered. The high - resolution display made the virtual world seem incredibly real. I could interact with the virtual environment in ways I had never imagined before. I could reach out and touch virtual objects, and they responded as if they were real. The tracking system was highly accurate, so my movements were precisely replicated in the virtual world.

    This new VR device also had advanced audio technology. The surround - sound effect made me feel like I was right in the middle of the action, whether it was exploring an ancient, long - lost city or being in the middle of a high - intensity battle.

    Using this new technology not only provided entertainment but also had educational potential. I could visit historical landmarks, learn about different cultures, and study complex scientific concepts in a more engaging and immersive way. It was a truly revolutionary experience that opened up a whole new world of possibilities.

    I'd like to share my experience of starting to use the DJI Mini 3 drone. This drone is lightweight, portable, and has excellent shooting capabilities, making it popular among consumer drones. I began using it mainly because of my passion for photography and the pursuit of new perspectives. It can capture images from the air, uncovering beauty that is otherwise hard to notice, and it's also great for documenting my travel experiences. At first, operating this drone wasn't easy. There were various flight modes and shooting settings to learn, such as the automatic return - to - home function, follow mode, and the adjustment of camera parameters. During my first flight, I was very nervous, worried that it might get out of control. Controlling it to take stable and clear photos and videos was quite a challenge for me. However, with continuous practice, it has been of great help. In terms of photography, it has enabled me to break free from the constraints of traditional perspectives and take many stunning photos. Over the Great Barrier Reef, looking down from the air, the colorful coral reefs stretch out sinuously in the blue sea, like a magnificent natural painting. The sunlight shines on the sea surface, creating a glittering effect that complements the vibrant colors of the coral reefs. I captured this breathtaking scene with the drone. Besides, I also took pictures of beaches and mountains, and these photos received a lot of likes on social media. During my travels, for example, in an ancient town, it was able to show the entire view of the town from the air, creating a wonderful picture. In conclusion, despite the initial difficulties, this drone has opened up a whole new world for me. It allows me to record life and discover beauty in a unique way, becoming a reliable partner in my exploration of the world.

    When I entered college, I was finally introduced to computers in a formal setting. Prior to that, I had envisioned cultivating a hobby for playing computer games, as everyone had emphasized the importance of computers in college life. With this in mind, I purchased a gaming-capable computer for myself.

    However, when I finally got my hands on it, I realized that I was completely clueless about computers. I didn't even know how to download games, and I struggled to utilize it for office work. The myriad of keys on the keyboard seemed daunting, and I couldn't understand the purpose of each one. Furthermore, I was perplexed by the requirement to pay for numerous office software applications. Taking care of my computer also seemed like a formidable task, and despite searching for tutorials, much of it remained confusing to me.

    As a result, I didn't open my computer very often since the beginning of the semester because I genuinely didn't know how to use it.Nevertheless, I could still appreciate the convenience that computer office work offered. It had a larger display screen than my phone, allowing me to run multiple software applications simultaneously, which was incredibly convenient. Additionally, tasks like creating PowerPoint presentations could only be done on a computer.

    After finishing my three years of high school, I finally got my first computer as I had hoped, because I needed it everywhere in college, such as competing for classes, making PPTs, and participating in some competitions. Since I have never used a computer before, I initially thought it was difficult to use, but I gradually realized that it is very easy to use. From this, we can learn a truth: when doing something, we should not look at it too difficult, otherwise it will be fruitless, while being too simple will lead to carelessness

    A few years ago, I got my first ever smartwatch. I'd been eyeing one for a while, intrigued by the blend of fashion and functionality they promised.

    When the sleek, shiny device arrived in its dainty box, I was brimming with excitement. Unboxing it was like unwrapping a little piece of the future. The first step was charging it, and I impatiently watched the battery icon fill up, eager to start exploring.

    Once it was powered on, I paired it with my smartphone. It took a couple of tries; there were some finicky Bluetooth connection issues at first, but when that satisfying "paired" notification popped up, I was all set. Navigating through the watch's interface was a bit disorienting initially. There were so many tiny icons and swipes to master. I started with the basics, like setting the time and customizing the watch face. I spent ages flicking through the pre-installed designs, choosing one that matched my mood that day.

    The real fun began when I delved into the fitness features. I went for a short jog around the block, and the watch tracked my steps, heart rate, and distance covered. Seeing real-time data on my wrist was incredibly motivating. It made me push a bit harder, trying to beat my previous lap's stats. I also quickly became fond of the notification feature. Messages and calls would buzz gently on my wrist, allowing me to quickly glance and decide if I needed to reach for my phone right away or could deal with it later. That first week with the smartwatch was a whirlwind of discovery, and it didn't take long before it became an indispensable part of my daily routine.

The advanced camera system, equipped with cutting-edge optical zoom and image stabilization technology, allowed me to capture life's fleeting moments with unprecedented clarity and precision, elevating my photography skills to new heights.

Whether it was scheduling appointments with its intelligent calendar app, editing documents on the go with its suite of office applications, or unwinding with graphically intensive mobile games, the smartphone surpassed all expectations.

     

    Overall, this experience of adopting the new device was a remarkable journey into the forefront of modern technology, enhancing my efficiency and enriching my lifestyle in ways I had scarcely imagined.

    In the year when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, due to the need for online classes, I got my first laptop. That period of time was simple and plain. Every day, I just held the laptop to attend classes from morning till night. Sometimes, when I couldn't get out of bed in the morning, I would put the laptop on the bedside table, let the online class play on it while I squinted in the quilt. Sometimes the teacher would ask random questions, and I would be too shy to turn on the microphone. Memories are blooming like flowers in my mind, and the three years of the pandemic also witnessed my youth.
