General Internet Habits

Looking over everyone’s internet logs I see a lot of similarities. It seems that the majority of the time that people spent on the internet was on Facebook. This was not surprising at all, since that was the main webpage I was on for most of the time that I logged. Another similarity that I saw in everyone’s logs was using the internet for school work. Most of the school-related websites that I saw were Blackboard and Webassign. Based on what I saw overall, I think that the main uses people used the internet for were for social networking sites, homework, and to gain information such as weather reports. I think that while most people were mainly on the internet for entertainment, I think it still involved writing. Even on Facebook, you write to inform people through Facebook statuses. While this might not seem like a legitimate form of writing, I think that it still counts. You still are forming an opinion and sharing it with the world, or at least your group of friends. I also think that a lot of people used the internet to read and gain information. Many of the websites were used for weather reports or to find a carbon footprint. I think that this is one of the many great things about the internet. Almost anything can be learned from the internet, despite it being an unreliable source. Information can be shared in a second and it will be available to anyone. Looking at both my own and everyone else’s blog, I think that there is a lot more to be learned.
