Observation and Reflection

To say I'm addicted to technology, and more specifically the internet would not be an overstatement.  I Like to justify that the reason I use it so much is because there is nothing better to do, however deep down I know that is not the case.  I wake up in the morning, shower then immediately log on to the computer, and on a normal non school day that is where I spend a majority of my time.  However on days where I am out of the house, it differs.  There are three things I never leave behind when I leave the house, for any reason: My wallet, My phone, and my PS Vita.  My wallet and Phone are pretty self explanatory, but when it comes to the third item, my PSV it requires a little more elaboration.  It is a handheld gaming device that acts as a gaming console, a music and video player, and a small computer that is capable of taking pictures and using Skype and Google   Throughout a normal day at AWC, I really only use the PSV in between classes, however occasionally when I do find myself unusually tired and unable to pay attention I do find myself using it in places where I shouldn't.  My phone however I mainly use as a watch and only rarely as a means of communication.  I use to keep track of time in between classes and to contact my ride if they're running late.   At the end of the day, or during a day without school 9 times out of 10 I will be on the computer either browsing the internet or playing games with my friends via skype. I definitely spend way more time on the computer than I should, however without it their are not many alternatives in a town like this.  All my friends are out of state and every book I own has already been read at least 10 times. On Thursday the 29th of November I kept track of all the time I spent on the phone or computer, and the results were not all that surprising.  I kept my phone with me at all times, and used it 12 times that day, 9 of those to check the time(patience is not one of my strong points) and 3 of those to make or receive calls.  I spent about 10 hours on the computer(Got home at around 5 PM and goofed off til midnight when my WoW raid started. Raided for 3.5~hours then went to bed).  The results were sad, but not all that unexpected. Hopefully when I move in with some friends come January I will have better alternative things to do with my time.
