I do Fluther and Facebook during my downtime. (Or during stats class. It’s the exact same class I took two years ago, free credit, too! ;])
I used to think I spent WAY too much time online gaming, and I did. I actually haven’t played games all summer, but got on last night because even though I lost the addiction, I missed being a part of it. (Which then makes my friends mad that I’m choosing to play a game instead of be with them….)
But I keep the online time to strictly when I’m bored, my friends are busy, there’s no activities going on, I don’t have homework, and right before bed (relaxation time.) =]
It’s always odd to think what my mom did, because she didn’t have a laptop ever. Changes in generations like that always interest me. Her dorm also had one phone per hall, attached to the wall at the very end of the hall. People would wait in line to call home, friends, and boyfriends. I find that fascinating, and I almost wish my life had less technology in it so I could experience that. Well, there’s pros and cons to everything. :)
