About Me

My name is Christian Haydt, I'm 16, and I am currently a Sophomore at Saline High School and will be graduating in 2017. When I'm not in school I'm probably listening to music, playing guitar, or reading.

A fun technology I like to use and think is fun is the electric guitar and amp. Without them, a lot of the music today wouldn't exist.

An important technology I think is crucial today would be ultrasound. Ultrasounds uses super fast sound waves that are usually used to create images. Ultrasound can also break kidney stones.
