Comparing the class Internet usage

I saw my Internet usage as very similar to many of my classmates.  A lot of my time on the web consisted or either social media, a random Google search for something interesting or using stumble upon.  Another common point with a majority of us was that we mostly used the Internet for short periods of time.  Every so often, we all needed our fix to see new updates on Facebook, or to stumble upon one more article as a break from whatever we were doing.  Besides social media, one of the next top common occurrences was blackboard or other school related Google searches.  Social media and school accounted for a majority of time of everyone’s Internet usage. I saw very few differences between the class and my use of the Internet.  Though my log may not show that many similarities, though out a weeks use of the Internet, I feel I could find a day that would have very similar searches to almost any classmate. I was surprised though, that not as many people as I expected read or looked at some form of current events daily, or bi-daily. I try to read some new article every day, or at least skim the headlines to know what is happening in the US and around the world.  With this information so readily available to us, and everyone spending so much time on the Internet already, I find it hard not to spend even just five minutes reading some news.  We are an Internet dependent age and this is clearly shown through the amount of time and visits we all logged on the Internet.
