It seems like everyone in today’s world is attached to their phones. Not only having the ability to call and text other people but as well as the ability find out really anything with the help of the internet right at your finger tips. Aside from social media I use the internet very frequently through out the day. From searching school related topics to searching different businesses, I spend a lot of time on the internet. Just by looking at one hour I spend on the internet on an average day the three website I viewed are Google.com, Amazon.com and Ticketmaster.com. Starting with Google first I searched a Halloween costume. Google has always been my number one search engine of choice. I like Google because of how easy, simple and quick it is to find a helpful link to whatever you might search. When I first entered the costume into Google it not only gave me links but also images of costumes with prices right on the first page. Also because I added the words “Halloween Costume” to my search on the right side of my Google page there was a map showing the closest Halloween costume store to my set location. I believe that Google does a fantastic job with …show more content…
My Google search lead me to Amazon when searching for my costume. I am a big fan of Amazon not only because of the large variety and selection of products and the fast shipping but because of the way their personalize your home Amazon page. Every time I log on to Amazon there are different tabs that include, recommendations for me, new for me, top picks for me, related to items I have viewed, more items to consider and well as shopping trends. I think that this is a great way to not only draw customers in by customizing it to their cookie content on their computer but also to make it easier for consumers. When I go on to Amazon I don’t even have to click anything at times, I can just scroll down the home page and Amazon has already done some of the searching for

    Numerous people spend an astounding amount of more than seventy hours a week on the internet or their phone (Dunn 80). That is an average of ten hours a day, which is more than most people sleep. Men use technology for two main reasons: to find information and for entertainment, while women, on the other hand, primarily use technology to take care of their social relationships (Kowalski). People often want to be seen as who they want to be, rather than who they really are, so they use social media to change and improve who they are. This can eventually cause people to try to alter themselves into the person they virtually created.…

    There are a couple of obstacles that have played a major role in me becoming who I am today. I've had naysayers trying to negatively influence my thoughts, and crush my dreams by saying that said I will never amount to anything, or that I should give up on my dreams and get realistic with my goals. A couple years ago I was a completely different person. I was out of shape physically, my academic performance was very poor, and I had a terrible attitude. I improved greatly in athletics and my academic career.…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
