In class Mr. Morean gave us questions about the discussion we had in class.
According to this article, the solutions that wouldn’t work would be to track my time on these social networks. I feel like I can handle myself enough to not have to check my time on all the sites I get on, including youtube. I don’t think it’s ethical to track myself because it seems if I’m a child and I need help to track my time. The other solution that wouldn’t be able to work for me is to use the site productively. If I had an account for a company I worked for in twitter I would definitely be productive. Bu if this is my personal account, I feel like I should be able to whatever I want.
Other solutions that I can give are the one mentioned in the article. You have to prioritize your goals or work. That should come first and you can do whatever you want to do after the work is complete. The article gave great solutions but my solution would be to not use any of the distractions and focus on whatever needs the most attention to benefit you and your future. If a person is really struggling with social networking, they should seek counseling or in general, accounts should be deleted from further distractions.
I use social network sites when I get bored. Every now and then I will get on while I’m doing my homework just to see what’s going on or because I lose focus on what I’m doing. I spent over three hours on one homework assignment because of facebook. (I was deeply upset) I don’t think I’m addicted to the sites because I have other things to do but it can cause all types of problems. When doing important things I often just listen to music to keep focus.
