Reaction to Technology Log:
So, this technology thing…I’m not so good with it. Hence the reason why I’m writing my first post on this Description area of my blog. Side note: I tried writing post but the thing didn’t load. Anyways, writing a log of my technology use wasn’t so difficult or shocking to review because I know that most people my age use the internet more than I do. My use of the internet mostly was associated with school and homework. This isn’t to say that I don’t socialize through technology because facebook and cell phone uses were part of all three days; I’d like to think that the amount of time I use these methods of social networking isn’t as long as most American teenagers but of course there seems to be a need to visit facebook every time I’m on the internet which is alarming. The duration of my visits to facebook did not exceed two hours and often times, I left the page on while doing other things on the internet. My reasons to visit facebook is to check posts on my wall and other messages from friends. Facebook, simply put, connects me to my friends.
Most of my time away from home and school was spent at work and even during this time, I mostly used the computer/register to ring up my customers. Side note: I worked at Aunty Anne’s pretzel shop. If I hadn’t worked five hour shifts on Thursday and Friday or a ten hour shift on Saturday, I probably would have used the internet more for leisure than schoolwork or at least watched a little more TV. My free time was obviously limited during those three days but I can attest that my use of the internet isn’t excessive compared to most.
Starting a blog and my failure to figure out how to post something on it proves that besides facebook, I don’t use other social networking sites. So far, after getting to read some of my classmates bogs, blogging seems like a more productive and creative use of the internet than most other online activities. I was surprised to find that my friends already had blogs and so it is exciting to join them in their blogging activities. I look forward to writing more entries and expressing my thoughts on other blogs. Before that however, I must learn how to write a post. This shouldn’t be too hard.
