Week 3 Homework: "Write a blog post about what you have noticed about your internet use. Think about the amount of times you visit certain websites, how long you spend on the sites and what you use."

From my table of results, i can see that the majority of my time on the internet is spent on social media sites such as Facebook, instagram and youtube. I have also gathered that i will often go on all my social media sites at once when i pick up my phone or open my laptop and will only spend a few minutes on each just to check up where i left off.

Furthermore, i have noticed that i go on my phone and use the internet mostly when i wake up and just before i go to bed which is a bad habit because of how it can easily lead me to going to bed too late and not getting up on time in a morning. As well as that, i have spotted that i use the internet a lot in social spaces such as at the dinner table or when i'm out with friends. This is a bad thing due to me blocking out family and friends at times when i should be acknowledging them and talking to them across the table and not behind my phone screen.

As a whole, i do think i waste a lot of my time on the internet; mostly i am just refreshing my feed or seeing what other people have posted rather than using it for valid reasons. I also feel as if the fact of how easy it is to get sucked into your phone or laptop and go online is a bad factor that can lead to me spending more time talking to people over the internet instead of socializing in the real world.
