After going through a few of my classmates’ blogs, I came to realize that we generally have the same tastes. There is so much that we do in common that we haven’t realized before. Going through the list, it seemed as if Entertainment made it to the top of the list. It appears that most of us are addicted to facebook, or other social networking sites, and sports. It seems funny but when I first heard of this assignment, I was extremely interested in knowing the internet log of my fellow peers (a very interesting topic) and I expected to see a lot of sites that I have never heard of before. Instead, I see what appears to be a list of sites that resembles my own internet log. I was initially taken aback as I had assumed that “others” go through many more links than I do though I spend a lot of time on the web.
Many similarities exist in this way about the reading habits among me and my fellow classmates. Another similarity I see among us is our internet writing habits (or should I say lack of internet writing). It seems that apart from status updates and wall posts on facebook, we basically ignore the keyboard on the internet. I didn’t see anyone go and make a blog post unrelated to this class or do any writing whatsoever on the web.
It seems most of us have some kind of personal connection to the web – as much as one loves his/her coffee (in my case tea). Overall, going through the internet logs of my peers was a good experience as it made me aware of the fact that we usually do the same thing on the internet. It was a very good activity and I hope there is many more of this sort.
