I tend to keep an equal balance between the amount of time I spend looking at a screen with how much time I spend staying away from technology. I catch myself looking at my phone all the time; waiting for a new video update from Crazy Fights on facebook, waiting for a messege from a friend, and/or skimming through pictures on facebook and instagram. My attention span does decrease when im anticipating a conversation with a friend on my phone. Even just being on a computer for too long encourages me to be distracted with anything going on on other web sites. Once technology becomes taxing I stubornly turn away and go for a walk or read a book, until I realize im still listening to music on my ipod. 

I am a student at Arizona Western college and I use technology non stop. Teachers require the use of technology on a regular basis to submit homework, do an assignment, watch an important clip, or to keep in touch through e-mails. I have never been a big fan of technology. When I use pen and paper, thoughts flow a lot easier for me rather than starring at a key board and a monitor, yet everyday i have to spend time to get use to the internet. On a more personal level i use technology to keep in touch with friends, family, and my significant other. Facebook always comes in handing in trying to find out what everyone's up to. When i decide to get people together and can post one thing on facebook that all my friends will see to make it more convenient for everyone to get together.
