Initially, when I started to build my map of technology, I had originally thought my activities would have fallen more towards the personal-resident spectrum. As it turns out, most of my personal activities online fall in the visitor spectrum. Prior to the pandemic, when I wasn’t working from home, a lot of my technology use was more resident\/personal; however, now that I’ve been working from home for two years and have to live, work, sleep, and now be a student all within the same walls, I’ve had to set strict boundaries with how much time I allow myself to use digital technology to avoid burnout. It will be fascinating to see how my technology map evolves over the coming years.<\/p>\n
In the toggles below, you’ll find a breakdown of my technology usage, organized by where I fall on the spectrum.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_toggle title=”Visitor\/Personal” closed_toggle_background_color=”#ceddd4″ icon_color=”#FFFFFF” _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n
Facebook:<\/strong> I only have connections to my friends and family on Facebook. I generally use Facebook to look at things on Facebook Market Place (but never actually buy anything).<\/p>\n Tik Tok:<\/strong> I don\u2019t follow any of my friends or family. I use this app to anonymously scroll and watch videos (admittedly, a lot of dog and cat videos \u2013 the algorithm knows me so well)<\/p>\n Netflix:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think I need to explain this one!<\/p>\n Email (Personal):<\/strong> I use my personal email to interact with friends and family, as well as to spend countless hours unsubscribing from mailing lists.<\/p>\n Apple Music:<\/strong> This is the app that I use the most during the day.
