Sitting here looking at my desktop which has adium and destroy twitter running, I wonder what it means to have an interweb experience these days. I have google, aim and facebook loaded up on adium and I can see that one of my friends has been laid off. The question comes up, do I try and chat, open my browser and send and comment on her status? Or write a blog post about the whole situation?
I could just head over to a news site and see what is going on the in the world, but I get that in destroy twitter. I digest a lot of little snippets of information on a given day. I manage to look at a lot of photographs too, but how I interface with the internet has changed a lot over time.
It makes me wonder what is next. Who knows. My kids love playing with their animals on webkinz, which is facebook for the under 8 crowd. No matter what, I should be doing something else. I have grading and handouts to make, but the time suck of my computer is on, not the productive part. This is my biggest problem. I tend to get sucked into technology more than I want to, or allow myself to.
