I'm old-fashioned and I've been fiddling with www.blogger.com for days trying to end up on the proper page. I'm finding social media more exhausting than it is worth. I believe that technology has enhanced my education, but now I would prefer to spend my time getting to know the people in my class rather than figuring out how to use the latest method to communicate with them with my fingertips. Social media is always something you have to keep up with. But I almost don't want to keep up with it anymore. And I'd like to think that I could do well in the workforce without it as well. It was a good thing that I learned to type in school, but I never wanted technology to take so much of my time.

It is almost refreshing not to have to use social media after spending so much time in a classroom or in front of the computer researching a topic. I want to learn from the great outdoors, however, that would force me to change my major and there is certainly no time for that. I want to learn firsthand from people and cultures by talking with them, at best, but not by reading their thoughts when we live on the same campus. But give me a book if I will have no other way of understanding your thoughts are growing from your life experiences. I want to put a face to thoughts, thoughts to a personality and personality to a character. That is education to me...learning how to live with technology, but also learning how to live without.
