For this blog, I expected everyone to have frequent visits to social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. To no surprise, everyone visited a social network site. But, I was not expecting to see classmates visiting sites to read documentaries and articles. The majority of us spent very little time on the internet and whenever we were on, we were doing school related things. It surprised me to see the low activities on the internet. I thought for sure that our generation would waste most of our time online doing something random than being involved in our outside community. My reading and writing habits on the web is extremely simple. I don’t use the web unless it is needed besides wasting precious time on Facebook. I’m not at the stage where I take advantage of the web for worthy reading materials and other significant things.
The web has replaced the need for multiple things such as, any reading material (books, magazines, news articles), movies, and even talking to friends. We are able to find anything we need on the internet as long as we are wise enough to know where to look. We can search Google for any questions we might have and is guaranteed to give us an answer. With the easy access of internet, the world is basically one click away and I don’t know if this is a good thing or bad thing. For sure it’s good for us students because it makes learning new things easier but it forces us to stay in our cube and shuts the outside world off!
Also surprised how little we use the internet, and the few purposes that we use it for.
