8/27

I would consider myself a "digital native." I've been around computers for as long as I can remember. I was one of the first people I knew who had a PC. My earliest memory using a computer was playing Jeopardy and other games on the big, archaic floppy disks. I also remember getting a new computer sometime in the mid-to-late 90's and enjoying full 32-bit color for the first time. Before I had an iPod I had a Diamond Rio mp3 player that held a ridiculously large amount of songs - somewhere in the 30-40 range.

I use the web primarily as a source of entertainment. I tend to waste hours mindlessly surfing Youtube just to kill time. I also use the internet to communicate with people via IM, Facebook, or email. From time to time I also use the internet for practical reasons such as job-searching or schoolwork.
