I feel more apart of the cyber world then ever!
There is a big wide world out there but watch this video to give yourself an idea of just how consumed we have become in what is commonly referred to as the 'cyber world':

I'd like to say I am the minority BUT:
I am your stereotypical genY girl; I have a Facebook profile, I tweet daily, Instagram regularly and visit blogs religiously. I am constantly looking to reveal, update and upload my life for all the world to see; it's an obsession, and it self-admittedly consumes me.
NOW I find myself creating a blog; it is dangerously addictive, yet an exciting, innovative idea to explore and assimilate different avenues of completing assessments.
For the pupose of my blog I would like to incorporate personal experience into discussion. I would like to create a space where I can discuss my world with others based on learning materials. I am just nervous that this is the beginning of a new social media addiction!!
