My Daily Technology Use

From the moment I wake until the moment I lay my head back down I constantly use technology. My alarm clock is my cell phone which I use everyday to txt or call contacts. The music from my iPod buzzes in my head for hours. The glow of the the television screen illuminates my room at least one to two hours a night. However, none of these uses of technology can compare to my computer and internet use. In the morning, I check my three different email accounts followed by my Facebook and Twitter pages. Then, I may check CNN.com or digg.com. Throughout the day this process is constantly repeated. I probably check my email every half hour when I am not in classes. In one 24 hour period I spend about 8-10 hours on a computer. I upload pictures from my camera to Flickr.com instead of getting physical prints made of them. The music on my iPod is all stored on my computer's hard drive. I even track what music I listen to on a website called Last.fm. I do a large majority of my homework on my laptop too. Heck, I work for the Office of Information Technology! I can't think of a day where I have never seen a PC. Computers have become so intertwined into my life that it would be almost impossible for me to pry loose from them. They are a source of communication, networking, news, and knowledge that has no equal in my eye.

Howdy!
