Internet Habits

Over the course of two days it appears that I visited a lot of sites thus spending a lot of time online. In actually I probably spent about twenty minutes in total online thanks to the speed of my Internet connection. Below is my list of Internet sites that I viewed along with a vague time frame I spent on each one

This summary includes my Internet visits up until this current one of my new post creation. Looking at my sites I have found that my views are sporadic which relates to my way of thinking. A metaphorical way of relating it is that my mind has A.D.D and that's how my viewed sites are too; I will be viewing whatever site I am on and then some random event will make me think to look at another cite.

This small project was interesting to conduct because I have never before analyzed my Internet habits. In the process I discovered my Internet reading habits also. Whenever I read anything I always seem to highlight it by clicking the words. I also always have the line I am reading at the edge of the browser window (top or bottom) depending on the text format. Another unique reading characteristic that I have is that I immediately look up any words I do not know using my dictionary tool in my google bar.

Overall I have found that my Internet habits are very different compared to other habits outside of the virtual world. Also I found that I spend less time on the Internet than I original thought I would have over a weekend.
