My association with communication technology

Hello again.

Well according to the title you'd think that I was required to write this post. You we're right - I did. I meant to post it on Monday afternoon after reading it through but I forgot =s.

Question 1:
I have to say no but in saying that there are people I do know (or have known) that I only contact through the World Wide Web. Through my MySpace account I have been able to catch up with family and friends who have moved, as well as people I haven't seen in years. The chances of actually sitting on the phone for an hour or meeting up for coffee with some of them is pretty slim.

A lot of my extended family lives down in southern NSW and I haven't seen many of my cousins since we were toddlers. But having stuff like hotmail, msn and MySpace has helped keep in contact.

Question 2: How long have I been using these forms of communication technologies you ask?
I have to admit that I'm not that technology savy. Until recently I didn't rely on email. I just had my school-issued webmail address. Now I have three - two of which I very rearly look at.

Question 3: What influenced me to start using these particular technologies?
I guess I started really using the net to keep in touch with friends after finishing school last year.
Question 4: Is privacy an issue?
Privacy is a bit of a concern which is why I have my MySpace account set on 'private' and don't add people I don't know. I also leave out specifics like what school I went to and where I work. But meh - I don't really think about it all that much. Norton 360 can do some the work.

Well, that was all incedably dry - but it had to done. Not feeling in the mood to say much else so I'll end it here.

Until next time, keep =)ing
