Week 2: New Communication Technology & I.

I like to think I'm a fairly moderate user of New Communication Technology, I don't use it excessively but there are aspects of it I would miss dearly if some sort of technology apocalypse occurred. I have a Facebook account which I check maybe once every couple of weeks and I can't remember the last time I posted anything on it. I do have a smart phone BUT I am pretty sure I don't take full advantage of it. I'll sometimes check my phone at four in the afternoon and see that a notification I got at midnight is still up because I haven't bothered opening my phone yet that day. I do use the internet quite a lot, it's where I get the news stories from the day and check my emails and peruse the blogs that I follow. And if you consider television a New Communication Technology than that brings my interactions with them up considerably. I've never been the first to jump on board with new communication technologies but after a while everyone you know is using them and you think if everyone else is using them it must be for a reason so you give it a try. I think the main reason I don't use social media such as Facebook or Twitter on a regular basis is I feel if I have something interesting to share I'd rather do it in person with someone I actually know, rather than online with people that I didn't really talk to when I went to school with them five years ago.
