manage your cyber world!

I saw a question on a website when I was surfing on the net yesterday. The question was (quoted the same as in the website) ‘Television, Computer, Mobile; Most Time Spent In A Day?’
I don’t know how do you spend your time before your pc. Do you play computer games for a long time, chat with people you met thanks to the net, read the news, use the net for the business, try to learn a new software, follow or write for blogs, watch the videos and movies or find new friends? For what reason do you use your computer and internet? After I saw that question on the net, I thought a while and asked myself the questions I listed below. I do many things on the net actually. I don’t use my pc for playing the games because I don’t like the computer games. But what about the others? I must admit that I use the net for the all other reasons. I like to surfing for instance and it takes a lot of time. So what do people say for that question?
When I casted an eye on the replies, I figured out that most of people spend their times before their computers just like I do. To telling the truth, I spend most of my time before my pc. It is at least four hours a day. That is not a short time actually, but it is not wasting time as well if you can make capital of internet. We should use internet properly and usefully. If you don’t use the net for training yourself or use it in order to reach information in shortest time possible, then it can be said you waste your time before your pc and stay away from the real life for nothing. For instance I have a friend, he almost spend whole day in front of the screen. Sometimes I look at him in order to check what does he do when he uses the net. Except the times when he watches the English lesson videos, movies or football matches, I usually see him as he visits the same websites. Especially socializing websites such as facebook and twitter or learning language websites like italki, livemocha and englishbaby. Yeah he may learn a lot from the learning language websites but he also spends a lot of times to visit some nonsense websites. As for me, It is not good to wasting time to visit socializing websites, but learning language websites are ok and sometimes they can help you to find an appropriate language partner.
I usually visit news websites and online newspapers. I like to read all about politician, current events, economy, and news about technology. I try to read at least ten column about various subjects from literature to sports. I can not find any Turkish book I want because of living in China. I only have the books I took along with me when coming to china and I already read all of them. So I try to follow the column from the papers in place of the books. I would prefer to read serious articles. Some columnist like Ahmet Turan Alkan use an ironic way to simplify the complicated issues for the people. Anyway, what I am trying to say is that I spend most of my time to read columns. And that is so important to train myself for my future.
I also prefer to follow some good blogs. They are useful indeed and I can recommend them to everybody. My favorite blog is ‘the majority of two’ that published some easy and quality articles by a Canadian lady. Here is the link of that blog. Check it out! http://majorityoftwo.blogspot.com/
Of course everyone uses the net for the different reasons and purposes. I asked the people around me the same question and most of them say the same thing; ‘I use the computer and internet for the communication, follow the news and watching the videos and so on.’
Actually it is so obvious that internet is indispensable today. A life without internet is unimaginable.
People solve their bulk of problems by means of the net; their working difficulties, money transfers, ordering goods, buy something and so on that I am not able to remember now. Because of those reasons, internet is really indispensable.
So I actually write that article to say people to spend their valuable time for valuable things. You can encounter so many nonsense and worthless things on the net besides the valuable and precious knowledge. So it is in your own power to make use of your time. Don’t spent your time for nothing. Evaluate the internet for your own interest but properly and carefully. If you can not manage to use the net, then try to remove the computer from your life and return to real life from a cyber world. :)) Yours truly.
