<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I have never itemized the tecnhologies I use, let alone file them into categories based on usage. I feel like I have a healthy mix of where I use my technologies. With that being said, I think that I mainly use technology for personal use. A large amount of my family and friends live far away and having software like Facebook and What’sapp allows me to stay connected without racking up a massive telephone bill (like in the “old days”).<\/p>\n
I noticed an interesting shift with my technology usage; I opened my twitter account to follow the news (making it a visitor technology), but that transitioned to personal and now I am beginning to use it for work and school. I am actually going to make another technology map at the end of the year and the end of the program, just to see what else has changed and no doubt added.<\/p>\n
As Dave White stated, I am clearly “working through elements of my identity or persona online” and I am curious to see where this journey leads.<\/p>\n
