Technology In My Daily Life

I use technology for pretty much everything. My phone is my clock, my means of communication, and often a kitchen timer. Each day it wakes me up with a song by one of my friends. Then I use it to check in with the world on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Throughout the day I use it to keep in contact with friends, keep up with my classes through email and the Blackboard app, and to check my schedule for the day. My computer is used primarily for video watching and paper writing. If I'm on my computer there's a 90% chance that I'm on YouTube, Netflix, or working on an assignment for a class (or watching YouTube while doing an assignment). If I'm not doing that then I'm on Facebook or Pintrest or Skyping with a friend at another university.

Technology has changed how I communicate with friends and family. I have family that lives across the country and friends around the world. With programs such as Skype and sites like Facebook, staying connected to them is easy.

I also use technology for entertainment. Primarily I watch YouTube videos and read articles on sites (ex. Buzzfeed, or the Huffington Post). Most of the time I am on YouTube is spent watching some of my favorite vloggers, watching both their newer videos as well as old favorites. One of the vloggers I watch most often is DanIsNotOnFire, one of my favorite videos is below!
