My internet habits

I must say that I use internet more than any other form of media out there. I use the internet at least once or twice a day, whether its googling something random or checking my facebook. The internet is the most convenient form of media in present day because of the idea that we can access the internet from our mobile phones. I would say that without the internet, I’d be less fortunate and gaining information or communicating would be much more difficult. I can use the internet wherever I want since I have safari on my phone, but I also will use my laptop when online shopping or doing homework. The most common websites I use are Facebook, Amazon, Publix.org, and Wikipedia.
            I use the internet the most every evening when I get home from work and school. I use the internet on my Toshiba laptop every night when doing homework, checking my Facebook, or online shopping. I use the internet when I’m at school and work as well when I get internet connection on my phone. The most common reason that I use the internet so often is because of social networking sites. I use Facebook the most to communicate and share with my family and friends. I use Facebook to post pictures, update important news to my friends, or to get in touch with friends and family that I don’t get to see very often. The internet and social networking sites has made a huge benefit for communication and a great way to keep people in touch and informed on what friends and family are up to.
            I also use Amazon pretty often for online shopping. I use Amazon as the primary source for shopping online because I have the student prime membership which gives me Free 2-day shipping on items that I purchase. I also use Wikipedia the most often when doing research for school or if I am just searching for random information. The other website that I use the most is Publix.org which I use to check my work schedule or to check other things for my work. There are other many things I use the internet for, like google and Valencia atlas. I use google the most to search for any information that I am looking for since it takes me directly to what I need. I also use Valencia’s website to check emails from professors and grades.

            Without the internet, gaining information and communicating would cost a lot more money and be a lot more inconvenient. I am very grateful to have such high technology in my generation since I am able to do homework much easier by using the internet for research instead of having to take a trip to the library and going through several pages of a book to find information. It’s much easier to just type in a question to google, and instantly getting the information that I need.
