The sound of my current favorite song awakes me every morning. No it’s not my radio; it is my alarm clock on my cell phone. Digital gadgets are an essential in my daily life. Since I do not own a clock, I probably would know what time it is without my cell phone or my laptop.
When I decided to stop putting chemical relaxers in my hair, it was through YouTube, online forums and blogs that I learned the proper ways to care for my natural hair. Everyday I check my subscriptions on YouTube or new blog post son CurlyNikki.com that will help me maintain the health of my hair.
Not only do I use Facebook and Twitter to stay connected with old and new friends, I also use it as a way to learn and get involved. The group feature on Facebook allows me to stay up to date with information and upcoming events of a particular organization I am involved with. Following a certain organization on Twitter provides me with quick and up to date information.
I do not consider there to be a digital world. I perceive it as a tool and extension of the physical world that allows us as humans to communicate, learn, and improve the world around us.
