It seems like I'm on and off the internet through out the day and I'm almost always carting my laptop around with me. This is partly because I enjoy doing homework in different places, especially accompanied by a steaming cup of coffee. Still, I spend a lot of time on random tasks like retrieving homework, checking syllabi, looking over lecture notes, and most recently: blogging. Also, about a year ago I cut all ties with Facebook(don't hate me) and began emailing more so that takes up a lot of my "wireless time". One of my favorite things to do online by far is chat on Skype with my out of state family and friends from Chile.
I really hadn't considered the term "wireless culture" before reading this article, and although I don't agree with all of the generalizations it makes, it does uncover several interesting truths about how we interact with technology on a daily basis. I hope you enjoy it!

Hi Katy! About the Facebook, in fact, the students in Taiwan seldom use Facebook. I was suprised that every student at Trinity uses Facebook!
