Personal Reflection About Technology.

Just before we started this assignment about technology, I read an article about college students and Facebook usage. I wasn't able to relocate the article, but it basically stated that college students spend most of their "studying time" browsing through Facebook. After I read the article I started thinking about how much I used Facebook when I should be studying. It had never occurred to me how much I actually got sucked into it. Not only did I have Facebook on my computer, but on my phone so I was constantly on and receiving notifications. So, I put myself up to a challenge. I was going to deactivate my Facebook account and delete my application on my phone. After the first day, I though that is was a piece of cake. When day three came around I was feenin to get online, almost like it was a drug. I eventually caved in and activated my Facebook again. The one thing I didn't do though was get Facebook back on my phone, and I don't plan on it for awhile. I found that Facebook is a way that I keep in touch with family and friends. Therefore, I made an exception and allowed myself to get online when I have free time. It's not been easy staying offline. It's hard to kick a habit that I've had for some time, but I am trying my best.
