So as time goes on I feel fortunate that the web has been something that I was able to learn fairly quick and have been able to keep up on the growth of it. I feel that locating info is at your finger tips and can be done with extreme ease and pretty acurate for the most part. I constantly check news sites for daily things like sport scores, weather, and for most big news stories that are trending. I go to places like Twitter since I feel that is as close to real time news as it gets. The Local TV news really is something I no longer watch since it takes several stories sometimes to get the info I want and even then the details are to little for me to get really into.
I feel the internet has allowed me to venture and do things that I would not normally do like work on my car, do electrical work and plumbing in my house. I frequently go to YouTube to look up how to"s so I can learn whatever task I have to do. I know I have saved hundreds perhaps even thousand of dollars because I do it all myself now.
Now for my dark side of using the web. It tends to distract me when I am on social websites and just shopping. I sometimes find myself on it surfing for hours and I was only checking on one thing. Its a bad habit especially on my phone. I hate it, but its tough to put down. My wife has to remind me to put it down so I can connect with my family which I know is a terrible thing to admit. I learning to control my addiction.
I still feel that technology is here to stay and it will only get bigger. I embrace it and I know my kids do. I work in a school and although we still use pencil and paper I truly feel that in time it will no longer be used. I just hope we always have human teachers, but you never know. Wow that is a scary thought..
