So to begin with my dear followers, I was asked by my Professor in my Tech & Culture In America class to jot down my internet/technology usage for one week. The week I will be discussing started on September 2nd and ended on September 8th. To begin with I should let you know that I am a Media Buyer for the Monmouth County Library system in Manalapan, NJ. I work 35 hours per week, 5 days a week. As part of my daily routine I surf the internet approximately 7 hours per day at my desk. Each day I went on the internet looking up DVD reviews as well as using DVD ordering websites. I regularly used amazon.com, imdb.com, and rottentomatoes.com. I also regularly checked my email using Outlook Express. Each day I also used our internal Circulation/Automation system known as Sirsi-Dynix. The Sirsi-Dynix system is dedicated to helping every library maximize it's potential.
Once I got home from work, believe it or not I once again went online each and every week night to check my personal email (Optimum Online), posted on Facebook (played Cafe World of course), and on Friday, September 3rd I burnt music onto my IPOD as well as my husband's MP3 player. While at home I also text-messaged my friends to see what they were going to do for the upcoming weekend.
On the weekend I spent less time online since I had errands to run and it was the Labor Day holiday weekend. On Saturday night the 4th, I did have an old high school friend over in which we went on to Facebook and checked out new pictures and posts made by our friends. On Sunday the 5th, I went online to check my Optimum email as well as I used Google.com to check out some information about "blogs" and how to create one. I also went on Sakai, and Ecollege to check on any new information in regards to my courses this semester. Monday, the 6th of September was Labor Day so I hit the beach and did some text-messaging to my friends and family to see what they were up to. I went back to work on Tuesday the 7th and followed the same routine I mentioned above for both Tuesday and Wednesday. So with all this said, I have come to the conclusion that I am somewhat tech-savvy. I have an intellectual curiosity about technology and I also pay attention to new developments and trends.
