Technology is all around us!

Reading week is over and throughout my week off from school I calculated how much time I spent with different forms of technology. Its insane to see how many hours I spend doing each but then realized that were living in a very technology driven world and the world keeps changing due to technology. The technology around now will most likely be improved upon in the next few years considering the fact that since the year 2000 we have experienced more changes then the world has seen before. Here is my technology usage for the week:
  1. Reading a)books b)newspapers c)magazines
  2. Listening to a)radio (internet or transitional)
  3. Listening to music (via Itunes or mp3)
  4. Watching TV, DVD
  5. On email (# msgs)
  6. a)surfing web b)social media Facebook
  7. Video games (web or system)
  8. a)mins on cellphone (#txt msgs)
Calculations:
  1. 3 hours spent on reading (on the bus and at home)
  2. 30 mins spent on listening to radio (in the car)
  3. 54 hours spent on listening to music (via Itunes and mp3)
  4. 8 hours spent on watching TV, DVD (shows 90210 and bachelor, DVD the breakup and legally blonde)
  5. 20 mins spent on email (2 msgs)
  6. 45 hours spent on surfing web and Facebook
  7. 2 hours spent on video games (web and brothers mario games)
  8. 32 hours spent on cellphone (86 txt msgs)
= 145 hours and 50 mins spent on reading week using technology.
