Week 2 - Perspective Continued

I use my computer mainly to complete class work, as well as research.  During free time I also use my computer to communicate and stay in touch with friends and family.  Students also use computers for school work, however; I feel as though they use the Internet for communication purposes more so than I do.  They always have their buddy list open, and more and more young people are logging on to Facebook and other networking websites.  While online communication is easy, I prefer face-to-face intereactions.  It is simple to e-mail a professor if I have a question or something I need assistance with, however; in most cases I would rather talk to a professor in person to get full clarification.  This is the same with my friends.  My best friend lives back home and I prefer to talk to her in person rather than online or through text messages.  Most "life things" are too complicated and detailed to communicate through an IM or e-mail.  This is another reason I feel as though I perceive things differently than students today.  While my language is similar to their's, I do communicate differently.
