La Web y Yo: Mi Percepción y uso del la Internet y la Web

We now live in a new age, the age of the internet. Technology has become
present and common in everyone’s lives including my own. I for example spend an
average of around six hours daily on the internet, that time is used to promote
my photography work or to use it to waste countless hours on TikTok learning
funny dances or most often I’m on my fan page on twitter texting to my
international friends. The Internet has given so much knowledge and power, it
has gifted me so many things and opened my eyes to so many new worlds,
cultures, music, people and world problems. In many ways I would even dare to
say that the Internet has even help shape who I am today. Generally speaking
though, I would say that even though my life revolves around a lot on the
Internet and technology I’m not obsessed with it. I have my limits so I can try
and spend my time on other things too and live a relatively “balanced” and
productive life. My day to day life depends a lot on it since I’m a photography
mayor in University. That makes me think though… how much would my life
change or be affected if I didn’t have access to the internet for a day.

I would say that if one day the Internet didn’t work for me, my day would be
somewhat affected but not ruined or “over” like many would think. For me the
Internet is a tool, or a pass time and I live by that every day. So, going back
to the premise of what I would do if I didn’t have Internet well, I would
search for other alternatives so I can get my work done for the time being.
Because if people could do their work done without the internet a few decades
back I can too, at least that’s my opinion. The thing that would affect me the
most is that I would not be able to have that connection with my international
friends. I know how that must sound to most people; many are very warry about
making friends online but at least in my experience it has been one of the best
things that could happen in my life. I have met the kindest and most beautiful
at heart, they have been there when no one else can as I have been with them
too. I have created quite a bond with them so if by some circumstance I would
not be able to communicate with them for a long time I would most likely be really
upset, the worst would be that I would not be able to find another way to talk
to them since I don’t have an address I can write them to or something of the
sort. But what is most important though is that I would not forget about the
amazing memories I’ve had with them. I would cherish every memory.

We cannot deny the impact that the Internet has had in our society and how
it will mold the future for generations to come. I would recommend to everyone
that they get similar experience so they can get more tools in life, so that they’re
more exposed to different cultures, music, and global problems. With more
educated people we would have a more educated society. A society who looks out
for each other. And while I would foment the importance of what the Internet gives
us, we most too show new generations to use the Web very carefully. We must show
them too how to live a balanced life where they feel like they are the owners
of their life and that they know how to function or go a day without the help
of the Internet. So, the most important thing that I can teach others is
balance, because the Internet is a gift and a heavy blessing to have. At least that is my perception of the use of the Internet and Web.

Hope you enjoyed my first blog entry! It is not about k-pop but it is about my views of the Internet, my relationship with it and how I think it will influence us somewhere in the future.
