New Media In My Daily Life










New Media In My Daily Life

As a technology user, I have been consuming various kinds of technology in my every day life. For example, the most popular computer communication-- the Internet. I am a kind of heavy user of the Internet. Every morning, I have to check websites for daily update (MyLeo https://leo.tamu-commerce.edu/login.aspx, Yahoo! Mail http://mail.yahoo.com, Hi5 http://totosunnyday.hi5.com) before brushing my teeth. Later in the day, I usually stick my head on various websites. The most frequent visited website is Google (http://www.google.com). This is the starting point before wandering to other websites in this cyberspace.

Some reasons for being the Internet loyalty.
  • I can't lose my identity in the cyberworld. This means that even in the Internet, I sometimes being the anonymous person but I have other identities to represent myself in other roles.
  • I need to get in touch. Nowadays, it is inevitable to communicate by using the Internet technology. This is the reason why I have several channels to contact with the world. Staying up-to-date is helpful with e-mail.
  • I can get information as I want. Search engine assists me to search information that I need in only a few seconds. Some e-books can be obtained on my most favorite free book website--http://www.englishtips.org. Paperless publication in .pdf files makes people more convenient to obtain large amount of information without limitation of space and time.
  • I can communicate universally. Who knows that the words we have published on the Internet can be read and heard in every place in the world. It is the new media that indeed give the opportunity to every people to express themselves to the rest of the world.
