My Digital Consumption

So it all started the night before, what I mean is that the 24 hours of monitoring my digital life started at 12:01 in the morning as I finished showing one of my all-time favorite movies to my husband, Le Miserables. Since we didn’t own the movie we looked it up online on one of those sketchy websites and has the viruses that pop up a million times; not the most reliable source but effective in our cheap desire to watch an older movie. As we finished I lay there and pondered the meaning of life, but not really the accuracy to the events at hand in the movie; maybe it’s credible, maybe it’s not, not really the point of it. And slowly but surely I drifted off to sleep and there I stay except for my usual tossing and turning.

I awoke to my cat Jeffery sleeping on my legs, and me checking my email as I did every morning, mid-morning, afternoon, and on and on rounding about 20-30 times a day, I’m not even sure as to why I’m not waiting on anything and I don’t work. After doing soon a drifted back to sleep as a way to help alleviate the migraine that was persistent in ruining my day.

When I woke again it was almost afternoon, and I was feeling much better. I had lunch with my husband and per usual our conversation flowed about everything. In the process of us talking we researched little questions we had about our conversation, such as what are sailor Neptunes powers and what does sailor pluto look like. This goes on for 20-40 min as it usually does and all sources are whatever google trusts enough to tell us, maybe not the most reliable but we aren’t writing a thesis on sailor moon.

I head back to bed as it is the only comfortable piece of furniture in our new apartment and look over my homework on canvas as I do every day, although this action still doesn’t stop me from procrastinating. Going on canvas daily does make me informed about my homework and gives me time to think it over. Being bored with canvas, I message some friends on Snapchat although this isn’t very usual normally I scroll through Instagram looking at things I don’t remember later.

As I am exciting browsers on my internet I realized I didn’t close on of the virus popups from the movie last night so I run a full virus scan, although I’m still not sure if it’s doing anything. As I do so I go to Facebook to check the wives’ pages for the airforce I am apart of, I am not active on it but I also religiously check just to have information about what’s going on and those pages always have 100 percent accurate info.

I finally get out of bed, again, and make dinner for my husband, after we decide to get some McDonalds for desert and listen to Today’s Alternative Radio on Spotify on the way over. Realizing we haven’t gone to the mall yet and it was next door we wander through until we came home just in time for bed.

google- 7 Although very reliable the search the google does to get the quick answers are just looking for snippets without understanding the context.

Snapchat- 8 Honestly not sure because I only use it for messaging.

Instagram- 4 It’s really up to the content creators to be credible and mine aren’t giving any substantial information, with the exception of Tasty, although Buzzfeed still it’s reliable.

Spotify- 10 There are few songs I cant find and it is very good with having helpful suggestions with impeding what you’re doing.

Facebook- 8 Same as Snapchat, I only use it for messaging and Facebook groups.
