Digital Habits

My various daily digital habits include activities such as surfing the internet and playing some video games. I have noticed that the internet is a big source of distraction for me. When I am trying to finish my homework or write a paper on my computer, I often find myself opening Safari and surfing the web, counting that as a "mental break." I also enjoy playing some video games in my free time because they are fun and do not always require a great deal of deep thinking. I most often use my digital devices to procrastinate the work I know I should be finishing, and to have a little fun.
My daily digital habits are similar to my father's habits, but polar opposites to my mother's habits. I would say that my father is fairly tech savvy and is able to navigate the internet easily. He has become much more skilled at texting in the past few years after I moved away to college. We still talk on the phone but he will text me when he has a quick question. My father also enjoys looking at various websites on the internet in his free time. However, my mother has no idea to work any kind of technology. My father and I gave her a cell phone for Christmas when I was in the 7th grade and she immediately gave it back, saying she would never use it. Today, my mother does own a cell phone but I do not believe she has ever turned it on. I have successfully taught her how to at least turn on the computer, but I do have to remind her from time to time. Basically, she only uses the computer when forced.  My grandparents do own cell phones that they only use in emergency situations. My grandmother also has a laptop that she uses to play games on the internet.
