After documenting my technology usage on Nov. 18^th I can see that I am predominantly using my cell phone much more than any other device consistently throughout the day. As I wake up I am using my phone as an alarm. Then I get out of the shower and put on Pandora radio. Once I’m close to campus I usually turn my mobile radio apps on. I had a couple texts throughout the day from my wife and my dad but not too much activity there. Most of my cell phone time is spend on some kind of social media platform. Two times on Friday I used my laptop which is strange because I usually am more active with it. You can see when I get home from classes I turn my attention to my desktop PC for most everything throughout the night. This is most of the time how it works for me. The reason is that my desktop PC is much faster than any other device I have and I can access most of the material and people through it. I watched some TV and didn’t some homework for a bit then responded to a question on Facebook and then went to sleep.

                I think one huge advantage that makes me use my phone so much is that I have a newer smart phone on a powerful Verizon network. With a good 4g connection to the web I am easily accessible to the media that I need and want when I want it. It’s nice to actually see your device activity throughout the day because you don’t always feel like you use your technology as much as you really do.
