The Internet is Boring.
I read an interesting article this morning in The Australian Online Newspaper titled, Everything old is new again to nostalgic, internet-weary young adults, which discussed the growing trend that 16-30 year olds are losing their internet drive and are beginning to return to old-school cultures. Have a read through and gather your own thoughts, but one sentence in particular absolutely jumped out at me as I was reading;
“They [16-30's] want technology to assist rather than dominate the way they communicate.”
This is exactly where I stand right now… I am getting pretty bored with Facebook, it doesn’t entertain me at all, I’m only hanging around so that I can stay in touch with people/photos… that’s all there is left to do on it, besides those annoying quizzes. The only real reasons I use the internet right now are for social networking/connecting/blogs or researching etc for work purposes. If I’m ever using the internet for any other reason, I can now see that I am looking for ways it can ‘assist’ my everyday life.
The internet isn’t a feature anymore… it’s a tool to be used.
How do you use the internet?
