Technology Log Reflection

                     Over the past week my teacher asked me to keep a log and track how many

hours/minutes I use of technology. The log lists; Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, iPod(which I changed

to Pandora), Blogs, Online Shopping, Texting, Web Surfing, Email, Online HW , Instagram, and

Other, which I filled in as Netflix. The top three websites that I use according to the sub total amount

of hours is Netlix, Instagram, and my tumblr blog. This past week was my spring break so of course I

had more free time than usual therefore I spent more time than I normally do on these sites. It was

actually surprising once I calculated the amount of hours I spent online on these three sites. Seeing as

I do not have a television in my room for the simple reason that I would ever stop watching it. Netflix

has the highest amount of spent hours watching movies and tv shows. The second is instagram

because I constantly check and refresh my feed to see who's posted recently and whats going on in all

my friends lives. The third is my tumblr blog, which I can scroll endlessly for hours without getting

bored. All these hours spent are not productive whatsoever ever. I merely use these websites to pass

time when I have nothing else to do. I really do not accomplish anything or do anything productive

while spending all these hours online. Technology was intended for academic use to expand the mind

and educate yourself but it has changed so much since it was first designed. So many teenagers only

use it to pass time and surf the web or go one social media sites when we should really be using it

for its intended purpose for education and school. The internet is a useful tool to research and learn

about anything your mind wants to know but sadly todays day and age we would much rather look at

out friends pictures and watch movies online.
