A Breakdown of My (Internet) History

Let me start by saying I’m not a huge fan of the image my Internet log creates of me. Although I have recently come to terms with the fact that I am a rather mild human being, it’s not exactly something I want to have advertised. But I’m a good sport and I can take it in stride. I just want it to be known though, that I am not a regular visitor of goldenkey.com, nor do I research study abroad programs on a regular basis. This assignment just happened to have caught me on a bad (or maybe good?) weekend when I was feeling overly productive and slightly pressured by my Mom.

With that being said, all of the other websites I visited can pretty much always be found in my computer’s history. Google is my homepage and I generally use it to find answers to any and all of my questions. That’s probably the site I visit most often. In fact, Google, Facebook, and UofL’s website are probably my top three most visited sites, with youtube coming in a close fourth. I use the Internet as a source of knowledge and entertainment, as I’m sure most people do. I wouldn’t consider myself very adept at “surfing the web” and finding new things to look at and read; I generally stick to what I know or have been told about. What’s surprising to me though is that most of my classmates also only have about a handful of websites that they visit regularly and the rest are just things they look at on the side here and there. This makes me wonder if my generation is really as hooked on technology as everyone claims. I like to think that we’re not.
