Tracking my use of technology.
Tracking my use of technology was a real eye opener. I was most shocked at the amount of time I spend on social media. I check Facebook and Twitter periodically through out the day, but to realize I spend 2 hours out of my day doing that was a shock. That's 2 hours I could be spending doing hw or something else productive. I also text a lot. I like to keep in touch with my family when I'm away at school, so texting is my way of doing that. I spend about an hour for one conversation in texting, where as the same conversation could happen over the phone and take about 10 minutes. After tracking this stuff I'd made me realize that I need to spend less time on these things. I am going to start putting my phone on silent all day and keeping it out of sight so I'm not tempted to look at it. This way I can get all my hw and studying done with no interruptions.

Andrea, I'm with you on how much time can be "wasted" on social media. But I also think we benefit from it in many ways too. How to keep the good and get rid of the bad in technology is the question of the times.
