Blog 3: Browsing the Internet

After looking at my history on Chrome for the past 3 days, I learned that I use the internet for entertainment and learning. Internet pages that I visited most often comprised of Msn, Facebook, StumbleUpon, Google, YouTube, and Blackboard. Msn.com is my home page when I open up Chrome. I use this website to read current events, keep up with sports, and check my email. Google is shown as the most visited site on my history. I use Google to help me find anything on the internet. I’ve searched mathematical formulas, definitions, other websites, and anything that comes to my mind. I use Google on my iPhone if I need an answer to a curious question that comes up conversation. One of my most visited website succeeding Google is StumbleUpon.com StumbleUpon is a website that is considered a Social Network, but I do not use it for that purpose. StumbleUpon allows people to pick from topics that they are interested in. Some of the topics I pick include: Animals, Bizzare/Oddities, Cars, Chaos/Complexity, Extreme Sports, Nature, Photography, and Sports. There are over 500 subjects to choose from. StumbleUpon is by far my favorite website on the Internet. My Facebook profile is used to communicate with friends and family. I use blackboard to stay up to date with my schoolwork. YouTube is the website that can make hours fly by. From looking at my history, it looks like I spend most of my time on Social Networking websites. StumbleUpon, Facebook, Youtube, and Google are all Social Networks. Blackboard could even be considered a Social Network because you are communicating with your teachers.
