Recently, I had to download Blogger mobile and have been blogging via blackberry. There is a problem with my hardware in my hp laptop and I can't pick up a wireless internet signal, apparently it's pretty common in HPs (yes, I know I should switch to Mac). Anyways, I have been texting my blogs to blogger mobile, and when I am near another computer, I edit them and fix them up. Not having my internet work for the past week has made me realize how much my generation relys on the internet (mobile web browsers are not the same as having your laptop handy). I get my news from the internet, research homework on the internet, shop on the internet, order food to go on the internet, and obviously use the internet to be socialable - facebook. The internet is very crucial for me. Obviously I'll survive without it - and thank God for my blackberry. But seriously, technology has changed so much in the past 5 to 10 years. Recently, I red one of Perez Hilton's blog about why Miley Cyrus deleted her Twitter account. She said we should spend less time tweeting and more time enjoying what we are tweeting about. She also said that she advices all kids to take a break from cyberspace because it's not reality. I would disagree with Miley. Cyberspace and the internet has become such a huge part of our culture. I think it definitely is reality and is what a lot of people in our society choose to spend their time apart of. As opposed to my parent's generation, communication was much more limited.
