The Internet Now and Then
Every week hundreds of thousands of adults and high school students use the internet. They use it for all kinds of things. Some use it to find out assignments for school, some use it to talk to their friends. What ever they do teens in 2008 use the internet, a lot even more than adults.
One way I use the internet is to keep in touch with friends through e-mail. Once or twice a day I check my e-mail on AOL. I talk to my friends from camp, and even friends in school. If I am working on a group project I e-mail information to my group members. The internet is one way I stay close with my friends. My dad uses e-mail only for work; he only e-mails associates and partners. He also does not use his e-mail at home. My mom on the other hand hardly ever uses her e-mail. When she does she e-mails only a few close friends.
Another way I use the internet is to see the assignments in my classes. My school uses Edline to help students. Teaches post the assignments for their class and update it everyday. We create accounts so we can get in contact with teachers if we need help. Our teachers also e-mail our parents if your grades are low, this way parents are not kept in the dark. This internet site helps students, parents, and faculty keep in touch. My dad is one of the many parents signed up for Edline. He gets all the updates in my grades and is notified when there are after school programs.
I use Google to help me find many different things. It is a quick and easy way to find web sites. I use it to help me find pictures for projects. It helps me find out information about the authors and their books we read in class. I use Google for so many things I can’t cont. If I can not find something I go to Google and I will find it. My parents use Google as well to find things for themselves.
I use itunes music store excessively to see what new song is hot or to see what happened in the TV show I missed. I buy hundreds of songs and I have many TV shows in my itunes library. I know for one thing that my parents never use itunes my dad does not even have an ipod and my mom got her songs from CDs.
In conclusion high school students use the internet more than adults. My family does not use the internet much besides me. I use it for lots of things but I use it safely and the I the most important thing of all.
