weekly post 1

In this week after thinking about so much Sherry Turkle said I realize how much time I spend on my phone. With Apple coming out with this new update, it lets you know how much time you actually spend on your phone. This surprised me the most because I clearly didn't think I spent the much time on my phone. So I decided let's talk about it and let me give you the break down on what is really going on. 

This tells you that today alone I spent close to 3 hours on my phone which I thought was surprising.
This tells you that I pick up my phone at least 5 times an hour and how many notifications I received today. Which considering how much I usually get that is a lot less. I am also noticing a trend that my most used app is Instagram. I might have to delete the app for a while just so I don't feel so dependent on it. 

This shows you that within a week I have used my phone for almost 7 hours every day. See this stat I realized how much more I could be using that time for something else and again my most used app is Instagram which I almost spent an entire day looking. This really puts into perspective on what I spend my time doing.



On average this shows you how many times a day I pick up my phone. And this also shows you on a typical day the average amount of notifications I receive. I think this also puts into perspective on why I tend to use Instagram so often is because that is where I receive most of my notifications from. 

This really brings me back to what Sherry Turkle said about how we let technology control our life. After finding out how much I am on my phone it really makes me want to be on it less and live in the moment more. I think my goal now is to see if I can get all these numbers down and experience things without always having my phone on me. So stay tune for my next post to find out.

I thought about this post I would talk about why everyone should get a dog. Speaking as a dog lover dogs are better than humans. I have 2 dogs Gia and Ella they are both rescue dogs and I love them so much. It's gotten to the point where I used to post them all the time on my social media accounts and some of my friends mention that I don't post myself enough. Which when I decided to make them there own Instagram. Most because these dogs are so photogenic and I swear they know it which is why they stop and pose every time I have my phone in my hand. Dogs give you more love and loyalty better than any human can. In a way, dogs are like babies they can't speak but they let you know when they have to go to the bathroom and when they are hungry... well at least my dogs do. Being that I made my dog Instagram really opened up how many people also do it. There are millions of dog accounts and some dogs are even famous. I think it's cool to see how people get their dogs to si...

Family Expectations vs. Reality          As viewed on TV families are seen as loving and playful. In the public eye, families are seen as in a way as perfect. They are often seen as the stereotypical family where the mother cooks and takes care of the children while the dad has a job. But this is unrealistic, families are often not happy and cheerful all the time and rarely do they depict that on TV. Often times they try to show the struggles families go through but in often times many people can't relate because they go through something much deeper.          Even though sometimes families separate they never show what it is like for the child and how messy divorces can actually get. They often don't show the struggle the family goes through that is actually realistic. I just think in general in the media we need to really talk about the struggles. I think it's so funny that on every media platform there are many ...
