WHO AM I?
✌✌ Hi!! I'm Carney York, and I am the lowest of the low. Not in terms of morals but in term of technology. I lead a very low-tech life and am quite happy about it. In this blog, I will give you an insight into my daily use of tech. I don't have a great need for tech or social media, but I still use it. Here, I will give you a snapshot of how and why I use digital tech and the 2 social media platforms that I use. (Boring, I know! I only use 2. Hey, I'm a busy, working mum who was raised in a different generation. Please don't judge!)
I am a working mum who has decided to go back to uni to study a Bachelor of Education. Prep to Yr10. To work full-time, have a husband who works away and 2 young children and then decide to study is ALOT!!!!!! (I sometimes think, "WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!") π¬ I lead a pretty simple life in terms of tech. Well. I think I do. I use it but honestly, I think I could live without it. I am one of these people who often wish we could go back to the time without the internet, mobile phones and social media. I think I could survive if that was ever to happen.
So, who uses tech every day? I know I do!! It's like cleaning my teeth, a daily habit. And it's a habit that is hard to break. (or is it?) I consider myself someone who doesn't use tech and socials a whole lot and has a very minimal grasp on the tech that is available today.
Take a look at my snapshot and make up your own mind! π
SO, HERE WE GO! I WELCOME YOU TO MY DIGITAL WORLD...............................................................................................
TIMELINE SNAPHOT - MY DIGITAL DAY
4:25am - My alarm goes off. I reach for my phone. Immediately jumping into my daily fix of social media. My GO-TO platforms are FACEBOOK and Instagram. It's a process......
πFACEBOOK
πINSTAGRAM
πPERSONAL EMAIL
4:35am - Get up. Go to gym (class booked on gym app)
5:00am - GYM (book for next class using app)
6:00am - Time to get ready for work and school. Television on while everyone is getting ready.
7:30am - Time to leave for work/school. Call dad on the way. At drop off, check my 12 yr old daughter has her mobile phone. (a 12yr old with a phone scares me!!!!!) π¨π¨π¨π¨π¨π¨
8:15am - WORK π (no, just joking, I love it!) Via workplace tech, communication with various co-workers occurs. Continues all day. Emails, emails and more emails!! Financial, bookings, meetings, scheduling.
10:30am - Morning tea π- personal phone use. Another dose of FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM. Check personal email. Pay bills. π
10:45am - Back to the grind. πWORK. Laptop constantly being used.
1:00pm - Lunch π- personal phone. FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM. Check personal email mostly for communication from girl's school. Log onto messaging apps including whatsapp, Teamreach. - Kids sports teams communication.
2:00pm - Back to the grind. πWORK. Laptop constantly being used.
3:00pm - Call kids to ensure they are walking home from school. π
3:20pm - Again, call my eldest to ensure they made it home safely. π
5:30pm - HOME TIME πππ Leave work - call girls to check in and let them know I am on my way home. (More to the point, check if they have done their jobs/homework)
Miley Cyrus | Spotify πππππ
ALL OF THIS HAPPENS ON MY SAMSUNG GALAXY PHONE!!!! (Exception - work)
(sometimes I feel like I am the only person who doesn't use an Apple iphone) Wherever I am, my phone is with me. π (Where would you be without a mobile phone?)

BEDTIME π΄- whenever that may be, but always ending my day with a quick look on socials before setting alarm. Phone tucked under my bed. Alwaysπ
......................................................................................................................................................................
4:25am - REPEAT, REPEAT, REPEAT
......................................................................................................................................................................
SO, THERE YOU GO. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I think my day is pretty low-tech. Within my workplace, I do depend on technology however outside of work I feel I could manage without the internet and certainly could exist without social media. I'm fairly simple in terms of tech and socials. Lots to learn. Not sure if I want to. It may be a case of needing to.
How do I compare to you?
Thanks for following π Please share your thoughts/ideas with me!!π
Until next time....... #LOWTECHMUM_BLOG ✌ππ
