As I read over my classmate’s blogs
about their Internet habits I realized many things, similar and dissimilar to
myself. Not only does my generation love their entertainment like Facebook,
Stumbleupon, and Addictnggames but also in a more general sense I gather that
the Internet is no longer something that can be ignored.
For the
last decade or so the Internet was relatively new and was still capable of
being ignored by many. Today that is not the case, judging from the class not
only do we receive constant email updates whether it is on our phone, but news
is a constant stream as well fed to us through sites like Yahoo, MSN, and more
reputable sites like the New York Times. Most of the students as well as myself
are constantly reading new stories on the web, from the most up to date sports
news to the trapped vacationers aboard the Italian cruise ship.
Furthermore,
we all are doing our own writing on the Internet, whether it is on Facebook, or
through our texts on phones. Our generation varies greatly from the older
generations like our parents who predominantly see the Internet as a tool and
not a form of media entertainment. Some students see the new technology similarly,
however, I believe it is something to be enjoyed as well as used for more
important purposes.
