February Second.
School had another snow day again. I usually love them, but I'd actually much rather be in school talking to people and getting one step closer to graduating rather than sitting at home doing nothing. Luckily for my television, computer, Facebook, E-mail, and phone these past few days would have been boring, but at least I had something to entertain myself with.
These few days really made me realize how important technology is in this day in age.
Did you know; there are 23million cell phone users under the age of thirteen,
About 115million housholds in the United States own a television, and
73% of houslholds have a gaming systeem
If you take a look at the following site you will notice that Bloggin, Facebook, and other networking sites have grown more popular for young adults rather than "older" ones ranging 30years and up.

Heres another site that compares teens to adults in a few different ways(I like this one better)
Which statistics apply to you?

In 2000 only 73% of teens(12years to 18years) used the internet, by 2004 that statistic was up to 84%. Just think how much more it's risin since then...Take a look!

Well that's my excerpt for the day.
Moral of the story, My computer and phone are my life line when I can't actaully see the people I want to.
