*my internet use* (hw 2/4)

This past week I have been tracking my internet useage! By doing this, I realized that I rely on the internet a great deal on a daily basis! I found that on a typical day, I will access the internet on about three separate occasions, typically lasting about 20 minutes per occasion. Every day I access my e-mail account on Yahoo several times a day. I also access Facebook 1 or two times per day to send messages to friends, check messages that have been sent to me, or to just 'play around'! Another site that I visit frequently is Wachovia.com to check on my checking account balance. I will usually check up on school work assignments that I have either on USC's blackboard website or the 'tifle' website. I also access the celebrity blogger website Perezhilton.com atleast once a day because I love celebrity gossip!
Based on all of this, I consider myself to be partly a recreational internet user (Facebook, Perezhilton.com) but also partly an internet user based on necessity (E-mail, Wachovia.com, school assignments, etc). It was really interesting to see that I do use the internet on a daily basis and that it is just a part of my daily routine. As technology continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see just how much we as a society rely on the internet and on computers!

I see that your internet usage is very similary to mine. What would we do without the internet? I also enjoy celebrity gossip!

Your analysis is great. what I'd encourage you to include to make this a more complete assignment would be a day - to - day breakdown so that an outsider can examine your use as well. I'm not grading this first assignment but wanted to give you some feedback!
