blog #1 - internet use

I use the internet very frequently. I check my email, browse the web for current events, and stay in touch with friends by using sites like facebook. I have a tendency to shop a little too frequently on the web as well. It would be extremely rare for me to not use the internet every day. With that in mind, it's interesting to compare how much I use the web to someone like my grandfather, who's computer use is very minimal. I think the fact that he has such a hard time seeing the screen and/or keyboard is the reason for that. My grandfather always mentions how much he dislikes technology, but I'm sure if he were as quick with computers as the majority of our culture is, he would use the internet just as often.
