I visit various websites which have become a part of my everyday routine, each of which offer something different to my online experience. The sites I visit reflect directly on my personality so the content that each offers is of direct relation to who I am. One of the first sites I visit is Facebook. Like most other young people, I use Facebook to socially network with people from my school, friends I grew up with, and basically anyone else who has Facebook account that I know in person. I don't use the site to meet people I don't know, in the way that a lot of people used MySpace. Facebook is an easy way to keep in contact with many people, visually view what they are up to through pictures, and sometimes watch recent events they have been a part of through videos. Facebook is equipped to utilize many mediums including photos and videos which is a big reason why it is so appealing.
Besides Facebook, I check a few other sites that are mostly either sports or school oriented including BloodyElbow.com, ESPNSoccernet, the Hunter Website, and my e-mail. Since I grew up in an age of constantly evolving technology, I find more complex and interactive websites more appealing, especially those that that incorporate video, photos, flash, and other design techniques.
A big reason that I am a Media major is because I have taken many forms of media for granted in my youth, and I feel that learning the various techniques and skills that allow a person to create websites, digitial art, and interactive media is an invaluable tool in a progressively digital world.
