Internet Activity Log... PART TWO

When I was comparing my own internet habits with other's, I found it interesting yet not surprising that I saw a lot of common trends. Writing didn't play an integral part in anyone's online experience, (except for this blog), however reading was essential. Which would make sense, as I see the internet as a place to absorb knowledge, taking in news articles and status updates alike, and writing, unless you're maybe debating with someone, seems to me like a waste of the vastness of the information out there. It just doesn't seem to have much of a place on the internet, which is ironic because the internet is built on words. But for the common browser of the web, writing seems to take the back seat. Sure, maybe there's a status update or a comment here and there, but the real substance that comes from searching on the web is reading articles or stories on informational sites such as CNN. But that's okay! There are people that get paid to sit there and write things that will be read, and who would there be to read them if we weren't there? There seems to be an extremely popular habit of going on Facebook for a very consistent time of ten minutes. It's a funny pattern that I've noticed... and it got me thinking. Facebook is definitely one of the most popular websites on the internet, but I don't see many people using it for more than thirty minutes at a time. It's the frequent check ins that make this site what it is. It's just a strange thought to me. Anyway, this is the averaged schedule that I've seen:

Morning: Facebook, News Articles

Midday: Facebook

Afternoon: Facebook, Schoolwork (And YouTube, this couples with homework. It's a great procrastination tool.)

Nighttime: Facebook, News Articles, Netflix or other Media Sites
