The Internet and The Digital Age:
How has the internet changed us? // As I type this I am acknowledging the fact the internet is the soul epicentre of my Teenage life. Computers and the Internet has been around since the 90’s, which I was born in 1996, and I have been brought up with the digital age. I think that the internet has changed us by, we can do everything online.
We can talk through websites like Facebook, Skype, Omegle. We can shop at our everyday shopping outlets but we can buy clothes/accessories etc, at the comfort of our own homes. Young people are spending around 90 minutes a day on their phones (taken from a recent study by MobileInsurance.com), this I think isn’t healthy, however do it anyway. We cannot stop going on our phones to check emails, talk to friends, take photographs, just connecting with the World in ways that we can now through our mobiles.
How does the digital age affect your life? // The Digital Age has an increasing effect on my life, as I spend around a good couple of hours on my phone on the internet. I’m either on social media like that of FaceBook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram… Or I’m listening to music through Spotify, or I’m shopping, googling random things that come to mind. Looking at the latest game and film reviews. Even going onto my own personal blog on Wordpress. The digital age will always continue to run my life; I don’t think that I would be able to cope without internet for at least a day.
What else could it do for us? // The internet can do various things, if we get asked a question, or if we see something that we do not know, we can simply google this and within seconds we are given a shed load of webpages with the answer. I really like that the internet can have good causes.
Your Future Self:
Who will you be in 10 years’ time? // In ten years’ time, I will be twenty-nine. Hopefully, I will be quite into settling down with my boyfriend (if all else fails, I’ll be a lonely spinster) / I think that when I’m 29, I will have a better understanding of myself and what I will want to do for the rest of my life. I believe that, right now I don’t know what I will be doing by then, however, I have a few reserved ideas of what could occur in that time.
These would be I will be engaged to Joe, and have been on a few fabulous adventures together, this being going away on various holidays, ie traveling the World. This is one of our goals, and hopefully in around 10 years, some of that will already be done. I also hope the I will be settled and we would have our own house with a dog, I know how my dream house will look and Joe has no objections to what this will look like.
