So for the last month or so, the internet in our apartment has been terrible. It cuts in and out, and takes forever to load anything. We are not sure why this is, and we hope it gets fixed soon (it's through our complex so they have to fix it). Meanwhile, I have become increasing aware of just how much time I spend on the internet. I literally spend hours a day surfing the web. While it is true that I use it a lot for schoolwork, errands, and things at work; I also waste hours looking at facebook and searching for random things.
Today I was hanging out with one of my friends and we were talking about media use, and I realized that I really need to watch myself more carefully and to probably cut back on my t.v. and internet time. There are so many other things I could be doing with my time (just think about what people did before t.v. and internet). I'm not saying that I should stop altogether or that the internet is evil, but I just think that moderation in all things is probably the best policy.

For sure. That's a really interesting thought. I often think about moderation, and what that means in regards to my media use. Finding that balance is kind of challenging. It's really an art.
