I started a journal on how often I use a computer during the day. I started on a Thursday and finished the next week on Tuesday night. It was 6 days in total. What I found interesting was how often I use the computer at home. I am a librarian and I work on a computer all day, from 7:30AM to 4:30PM. I enter new material in an online database and check my email every few minutes, as this is the fastest way to communicate with my customers. This is what I do 5 days a week. When I get home, unless I have homework, I use to stay away from the computer, due to the fact I am on the computer all day. That was until I bought a laptop computer last February. The convenience of a laptop has made it much easier for me to watch movies online. I am what is called a cinephile. That is a person who is a devoted moviegoer, especially one knowledgeable about the cinema. I check on and revise my Netflix account every day online.
While keeping my journal, I recorded 3 nights where I watched episodes of TV show I had missed during the year. Netflix makes it possible to watch movie and TV shows on their website, if you have an account with them. Another aspect of working on a computer both at work and at home is the use of email. Up until this class, emailing was my primary source of communicating with friends and family. I also recorded that I do not spend as much time on the computer over the weekends. Although, since buying a laptop, I do spend more time that I did a year ago before I bought the laptop.
Recently, I started texting on my cell phone. I do not like it as well as email, due to the small keys and multi-letters on one key. Although texting is the only way I can communicate with my nephews and nieces. Now, I have started this blog, and having a new experience on the computer.
