In my daily routine, I use the internet since I start my day till I finish it. The first and last thing I do everyday is check the internet on my phone, it can be either social media, blogging, or listening to music online. Almost every app on my phone uses internet.

Not only do I use it on my iPhone, but also on my computer and BluRay. With the computer I usually browse the web, Google Chrome in my case. From research to Netflix to late-night YouTube browsing. Most aspects of my day are filled with internet or web use.

Could I live without the internet? Absolutely, although the internet is the base of most of my interest, it has aspects that have in some way affected the social environment. Like the lack of face to face interaction, and the brainwashing techniques used by major companies, institutions or even our government. In a way, I would prefer for the social setting to be as it was before the commercialization of the internet and web.
