Blog Prompt 1

My name is Taressa and I am addicted to tronics. Texting and email are my ultimate favorites because I prefer to not have face to face interaction or voice contact either. I spend majority of my day using my phone and if I am near a computer with internet access I quickly will log onto my myspace, facebook, or usca email. I believe that if I were to check my cellphone bill my number of text messages a month it would be well over 450. My idea of email is through my myspace or facebook page. I do not believe I have actually opened my yahoo mail or aol mail in months. I mainly communicate with my friends I rarely text my family members because I see them everyday. I do on the other hand text my parents when I want to ask them a question and do not want them to see my facial expression for example: "Mom could you loan me some money...I kinda over spent". This is done so I won't have to actually be present when they ask me "what did you spend your money on?" My friends are my main audience if I go through my phone and look at my recent recipients for texting it is usually the same top ten people unless I randomly need someone outside of my circle and send them a message about something.

So in short my life revolves around my phone and my computer without the two I am lost
