Yes, I had a childhood without Internet. We had no Youtube or Angry
Birds, we played outside and talked to each other. I am not that old but, it feels like this was
very long time ago.
When the first electronic message was sent, I was not even
planned to be conceived. How fast the Internet has became an essential
part of my life, or better to say, ours. I confess, I cannot live without the Internet, I am always online sending emails, searching for info, communicating, reading, and using (too) many apps. Here, ten facts:
- When I wake up, my phone (including the web) is the second thing I check. (The first, is my alarm).
- When I have doubts about something, I Google it.
- When I plan my holidays, I book a hotel with free Wi-Fi
- Contacting my family means using Skype or Whatsapp.
- When I take a picture, I think how it might look on my Instagram
- There is no exercising without my training apps. If is not on my HeiaHeia, it is like never happened.
- When I have/see a good idea I pin it to my Pinterest board,
- When somebody talks nonsense, I think on how to rephrase the info into 140 characters and tweet it.
- My blog is my therapist.
- My phone is the last thing I check before going to sleep. I know I should not, but…
Last but not least, I don’t understand Internet detox. It
sounds as bad as giving up chocolate. Absurd.
Happy Internet Day to all of you!
