For the 24 hours I recorded, I realized just how much I used the internet. I made a more accurate grading, given how late I am turning this assignment.
A lot of my time is spent on the computer. Wednesday morning I got up and checked on my computer. I work in the library so most of my time is spent on it. That and given the sudden WiFi outage, a lot of my time was actually spent trying to help a flood of students figure out how the WiFi works.
Canvas, outlook, and google docs are things I use a lot as a student, checking my emails, my grades, my work constantly to the point it sometimes stresses me out. Then I use my EagleOne to buy my food, or Apple tap to pay from my phone just to not pull out my card. That feels normal to me now, but paying for something with a tap of your phone is something so futuristic and I could not believe how I have never thought about it before.
I use my air pods which itself is magic to me because I don’t understand how bluetooth headphones work and I just use them like they’re the most simple things as well. I even have an AirTag on something that I commonly use to easier track it and that just makes my life so much easier.
Overall, I’ve gotten so used to a life of convenience that I don’t really understand jist how amazing the things I use are. Even being able to Google a question such as “what is a weevil and why do they look like that” and getting a genuine answer is amazing.
