I'm not really sure what to write about this week in here. I've been spending my class time working on a video in iMovie for our projects. Its kind of addicting and I find myself spending way too much time tinkering around with little transitions, effects, and other functions.
We've been spending a lot of time reading texts around a main idea that technology is making life better, more streamlined, or more efficient in some way. While I totally agree with this, I'd also also rebut back by saying that technology also takes up a lot more of my time. So much so, I'd actually say I'm wasting time. Playing with iMovie for a while, before I realize that hours have passed is a perfect example of this. I also wonder how much time I'd save if I wasn't watching so many YouTube clips. Maybe I'd learn a lot more if I didn't bring my laptop to my lectures just to stalk friends on facebook. The list of examples continues, my point exactly. How do you choose to waste your day with technology?

I think Facebook is 99% of people's answers on this one, but I think I could also say the television, for instance, today I am going to spend from 1-3 watching the Badgers on tv...but that isn't wasting time, everyone should do it!
ReplyDeleteI'm one of the few who is just not that into Facebook. I made an account to keep in touch with my cousin when he started studying at Platteville, but other than that, I'm a bit of a Facebook hermit. My friend list has ten people.
ReplyDeleteI still waste my time on the computer, though, chatting on forums, using StumbleUpon, writing, and so on.
i know what you're talking about editing something or playing around with a software. Another example would be computer games or any type of game because you focus on it too much and forget about time. it can be a waste of time but if you really think about it, you're actually getting better or learning new things.
