One day of my digital life - 43 yr old Mum of two young girls. ➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤

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!!!!") πŸ˜¬ 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! πŸ˜€

SO, HERE WE GO! I WELCOME YOU TO MY DIGITAL WORLD...............................................................................................

5:30pm - HOME TIME πŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒ 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)

ALL OF THIS HAPPENS ON MY SAMSUNG GALAXY PHONE!!!! (Exception - work)

8:00pm - STUDY - the laptop makes an appearance. It is my time for uni study. I am studying online and would be absolutely lost without the internet. Well, online study wouldn't exist.

BEDTIME 😴- whenever that may be, but always ending my day with a quick look on socials before setting alarm. Phone tucked under my bed. Always😞
......................................................................................................................................................................

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?
