After reading the article, “You’re Distracted. This
Professor Can Help,” I realize just how much my concentration is affected by
the internet. Right now I’m addicted to Pinterest. If I’m trying to do
something constructional, I find myself wondering how to do some home
improvement projects on Pinterest.
I know that I do not intentionally use technology like my
phone and computer to do specific tasks. I use my phone to play games like
Clash of Clans and Trivia Crack. I use my computer to surf the web and watch
Youtube videos. When I’m at work, I use my computer for what it’s for but when
I get home, I immediately try to surf the web on my tablet while I’m cooking,
doing housework, etc.
My use of technology definitely affects my work, because
without it I would not be able to do my work. I use email, internet, to research
and do tasks. I’m so tired sometimes when I get home from work that I don’t log
onto my computer at all. I try to put away the technology and spend time with
my family but my husband and I get sucked back in as we sit down on the couch
to eat dinner and surf the web. Social media definitely affects my mood though out
the day. If I see a really good pinterest post or a great Youtube video that is
funny, I laugh and it makes me feels good. I realize that I panic when I can’t
find my phone or tablet because I have lost my phone and tablet in the past and
have had to get new ones.
If I were more intentional with how I use technology every
day, I believe that I would be able to finally start all of the business
opportunities that I want to start. I would be able to finish all of the books
that I want to write and I would be able to have more focus. It’s amazing how
much we are distracted by technology and social media.
