My Personal Computer Life..

Many many years ago, I was introduced to the beauty of the internet. When I was back at home and even my first year of college I would spend hours on the computer. I would play mindless flash games and devoted hours to "The Sims" and "Zoo Tycoon". Then my laptop crashed, and hard. Instead of replacing it, I adapted to a life beyond the computer screen. I do not spend much time on an actual computer anymore. Outside of class, I don't spend more than an hour a week on the computer. When I am online, I check my emails (school and one personal account) my facebook and myspace, in that order, taking a total of 15minutes. I do however check my emails through my cell phone regularly, very regularly. I spend much more time on the internet through my phone. I google for movie times and directions, i update my facebook and myspace, and check my sports scores and check my student email all from class, work, the car, where ever i might be. I find that my phone is more convenient and reliable. The requirements for this class will have me spend more time than i am used to online so I am curious to see how well this will work for me.
