My Digital Life

Hey hi! This is Vivian. Thanks for visiting :)

Though it may be the very first time that we have ‘connected’ to each other, I bet we both share a highly synchronized digital usage pattern in our daily life.

Let’s see how likely our digital usage pattern can be…

1) What is the first thing that you most likely do when you woke up?

My answer: Instead of brushing my teeth or washing my face, the first thing that I do everyday when I woke up is to check my Iphone and see whether there is any unread message or not lol

2) Which website do you visit the most?

My answer: Facebook I guess. I can keep browsing on Facebook all day even there has NO MORE “NEW” NEWS FEED…well, that’s not a good student should be I supposed:/

3) What physical thing that you can’t live without the most other than money? And why?

My answer: Smart Phone definitely. It servers as a base for social networking, like people nowadays rely heavily on smart phone for their communications. Applications like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc have provided us more convenience ways to get an access to these social platforms, and to keep ourselves up dated.

As we can see from above, new media has become an essential part of our life. It can help to facilitate communication, as well as widening our social network. But of course, nothing is perfect. We will gain from it only if we use it in a proper way. But how can we define the word ‘proper’? And how can we maximize the gain from using new media? I guess I better leave these two questions now, and answer them at the end of the course ‘Writing for New Media’. Let’s wait and see;)
