It’s really crazy to see just how much I use technology. I knew that I used it quite a bit, with listening to music, doing homework, and all of that. But breaking it down into how many hours/minutes is kind of shocking. The total time I spent on Netflix I find a bit funny, because it makes it seem like I’m obsessed with Netflix, and that’s all I do in my free time. I’m not obsessed with Netflix. Yes, I do watch it a lot; but most of the time I use it as background noise for when I’m working on homework. For some reason, the background noise of people talking (TV shows) helps me focus more. While all of this realization of how much I use technology is a bit shocking, it is kind of hard to avoid or change my ways of using technology. In today’s society, it’s difficult to not use technology to get stuff done, especially with school. A lot of our reminders and materials are able to be found, or are only found, on something related to technology; and while we still have our textbooks, they only go so far with their use. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; today’s society is way too dependent on technology.
