Your generation has been called the MySpace generation. It is obvious that you spend much more time online than previous generations, mainly because you have more access, more technology, and maybe more desire to sit at a computer screen than most others. Is this true? Do you resent that label? For you personally, how do you see yourself as a writer in the online world?
Specifically, respond by explaining how much and where you write online. Do you chat, IM, surf, what? Remember, no full names. First names only.
Then, once you've posted your original piece, go back, read others' posts, and reply to at least one other student's writing.

I think that this is true not only that we have the time but we have new tecnology, so that we can chatand talk to eachother online
kevin
Yes it is ture. no I do not go on the internet I play computer game. I do not see my self as an online writer.
I do not write online.
Carl
I think that it is true about my generation. I don't mind about this label, because it shows that our community is growing in technology.
For me personally I chat to whoever wants to chat, you meet lots of people that way. I write every day to whoever I know and whenever I am bored I log off.
Avery
I think it is true that people are on the computer more then they used to be. I do not represent that type of person anymore, i used to go on the computer all the time 24/7 but now im on much less. The only time I am online, is when I am talking to my friends by IM'ing them or messaging them on my myspace. I think that,I,personally, should be out more with friends and doing things than talking on the computer with friends and wasting my day on a computer.

I personally think that this is completely un-true, and I very much resent that label. I hardly ever am on the computer except for academic reasons. The amount of time I am on the intetnet really isent much, and I know that there are more people than just me who dont just sit in our rooms alone downloading songs I think the internet is virtually more toruble than its worth
Deven
i dont aagree with this because i dont play online allday but it helps some as a writer
jeff
Chatting online is usually my way of staying in contact with all of my friends. On a normal day I usually spend 4-5 hours on the internet chatting on msn, or I am on myspace. Myspace is a really cool way of meeting other people and telling them what you think of their opinions and their likes and dislikes. I also surf the internet, sometimes shopping other times trying to find something to read, games to play, or see when my favorite band is touring.
On msn I have several people that I talk to that live outside the country. For example I have a friend that lives in england, Australia, and Arabia. I also chat with a bunch of different people at school. It's a good way to find out what you missed in school that day if you were gone or for some people get some hot gossip.
LaGina
Yes it is ture. no I do not go on the internet I play computer game. I do not see my self as an online writer.
I do not write online.
Carl
It is pretty much true our genaration is on the computer alot because my parents got dsl because you can be online and talk on the phone at the same time my parents got mad because we where on the computer to much and they always had important phone calls that were comin in. For me i am on the computer alot but not often because my parents grounded me from it because of some dumb reason but i used to be on there at last 5-6 hours a day. I always surf the web when i am bored and no one is talking to me online and listening to music.
chris
I agree with carl, i do not write on the internet either, nor do i see my self as an online writer
Deven
I agree in one way because I spend alot of time chating to people online or even just surfing the web for fun. But it is not fair to sterotype people because there is people that dont spend hardly any time on the web.
Andy
All I do is play games and school work on it or look up schools for collage. I think that Deven is right.
Carl
Yes it is ture. no I do not go on the internet I play computer game. I do not see my self as an online writer.
I do not write online.
Carl
i agree with kevin because we do have the technology and we can chat online as much as we want.
chris
I agree with Serena's comment because it is true that our generation is becoming lazy with all of these new things coming out in technology.
Avery
I agree with what Deven said about how not everyone is on the computer and using the internet. I know that it is true that not everyone is on their computers listening/downloading music.
-Serena
Yes this is true. I don't hate myspace generation but It's not my favorite.
I do see myself as an online writer because I post things online like quizes and stories and other things like that.
I am on the internet all day and night when I'm at my moms house and when I'm at my dad's house I can only be on for 30 minutes and I'm not aloud on that much.
I chat in chat rooms and I chat on MSN and Yahoo messengers aswell. I surf the web sometimes but not very often. I have certain websites I go to like google, tagged, hi5, who-remembers-me, and other websites like that.
Josette
I think that this is right because our generations spend more time in the computer than the past generations. And I also agree about it because we have more tchnology so we can talk with our frineds by the computer and surf on the net, either for fun or for information or even for emergencies.
Miguel
This is very true for me, I still spend a lot of time on the internet even though I can't do it at home anymore. I hate the label MySpace Generation, its retarded and outrated. As a writer online I post things like, stories, and messages. I make my own websites,(which I will NOT give) I spend time on Yahoo, Google, Tagged, and hi5. I chat a bunch in chatrooms and on yahoo messenger. I surf the web a lot. Basically if I think of something I type it in my tagged 'diary' I guess you could say that I really depend on the internet.
JaKarra
Yes that is true we do go online more than them and we do have more tecnolagy than them. Yes i do represent this lable. No i dont see my self as a writter in the online world. I chat in chat rooms and surf the web but thats about it and i also type my home work on the computer i email people also. I like being on the computer and talking to people on the computer i am on my moms computer 24/7 Becuase i dont like doing any thing else. the computer was a good thing to have.
chelsi
I agree with JaKarra. We go to most of the same sites and we both are on the internet all the time or as much as we can anyway. The only reason why I'm always on the internet is because I like to chat to people on the internet, look up pictures of anime, and also because there is nothing better to do in my house. I believe that JaKarra thinks the same way. JaKarra and I chat on the internet sometimes too.
Josette
i agree with Jeff it helps thous that like them and can use them good but thous that cant use them well its point less.
Trent
I agree with carl I don't use my computer so much at home or at school, I only use for school assigments.
Miguel
I do think it is true for myspace generation that I spend more time online then my parents and others, because I use it for both technolgy and personal prefrences. If my parents and grand parents had the use of technolgy then I still think that i would use it more because I enjoy to do it. I know that I understand technolgy more then my parents and grandeparents because I have the use of it everyday, I have to be able to use it now days and I have to be able to know how to work the technolgy because we use it everyday. If you didnt know how to use it now days you wouldnt get very far in life.
~Jamie
Yeah i think that our generation of kids are known for chatting on the computer. I think that we do this because we have more technology. If my mom or dad had the technology that i do now then i think they would use the computers more.
Ayla
Chris is right
Ayla
As far as writing on the online world, on a scale of one to ten, Iam a two. It is also ture that we have a whole alot of tecnology so that we can have alot of things to do on the online world, like, surf, chat with other people, resacher for data, and play games with other people.
Katherin
I use the internet to chat but at the same time I check out collages like Carl so that I know what classes to look forward to and what classes I need to get in to the collage I want. Sitting in front of the computer is a bad thing if it gets out of hand I usually spend mabey two hours a day on the web at most. Unless it is for academic reasons.
Andy
i dont think that it is true because there are lots of people who surf the internet its not just our generation.
MIke
I am not on the internet that much. I am manly on the internet for school work online.
I don't chat online that much even though I have a chat name and all that stuff.
I think that people can be on the internet for to long or to much. A lot of people are on the internet talking for hours at a time to other poelpe. I don't really understand why they do that for so many hours at a time.
I think that it is great having the internet at hand when ever we need it.
Bam
I dont agree, for some i do but for me i dont i know there is more out there like me that just dont like them its ok for people hoo can but it dosen't do jack for the ones that can't
Trent
I, also, agree with Deven, cause even though I am online most of the time, doesn't mean that the rest of our generation is, and it is stereotypical.
LaGina
I agree with Josie, and Kevin because when kids have nothing to do they get on the computer, and create stuff. Now since kids spend 90% of their time on computer, parents monitor how much they watch. So most people spend their time chatting and making new friends, or looking things up.
JaKarra
Kevin is right, because we do have alot of new tecnology so we can talk to people that are like arcoss the states.
Katherin
yes i get on the computer. i chat and surf like everynight for like 4hours or more. i love the computer. it is very useful to your homework and just to talk to your friends. its easy to use and also lots of fun.
Alyssa
I agree with ayla. If my mom and dad were tought how to use more technolgy in their generation then I know that they would use the computers more. They ask me to help them all the time on the computer so I have the living prof to back up her comment very well.
~Jamie
yes i agree with josette i like to be on the internet and i dont hate MySpace. i like to be on the internet a lot and i like to be on those websites also. Josette is awsome expecially because she goes on the good websites.
chelsi
I also agree with Chelsi and LaGina because I like to chat to people on the internet to keep in touch with long distant friends or to keep in touch with people at the school. I also agree with Chelsi because at my mom's house the funnest thing to do is be on the internet and on MSN and Yahoo messengers because my mom lives in pendlton and when I am there then the internet is the easiest way to keep in touch with my friends until I get back.
Josette
I agree with Avery, because i chat online and talk to poeple i know. i also meet new people all the time.
Alyssa
Is true and agree, now with new tecnolgy we have we can do our homework,chat write.
Critobal
I agree with Serena and Kevin. Even though we have the tecnology doesn't mean that we should stay inside and be online 24/7. We should do other things like sports or being with friends.
Bam
Yes I use the internet because, everyone has the inrernet and everyone uses it. It s just a more fun and faster way to do things.
I do alot on MSN, the internet, e-mail, ect. Because everyone in my family has at least one of their oun computer, I am on my computer half an hour to 3 hours to 4 hours hours at a time. I can surf on the internet for hours on the weekends, and I buy almost half my cloths on th e internet. I do other things on the internet, like do my school work, type stuff up, google map imiges, google imiges for projects, lison to music, look at photos from my digital camra, and much much more. My family knows alot about computers because my Dad is a computer freak, when he has to type something he just uses a microphone that types everything he said for him, he loves computers so much he has 6 at his office, 4 at home(for the kids), and 3 labtops(one is my moms,)and he has equitmint for all kinds of stuff.
I don't really mind being the myspace revolution, because it means that you know that you are probly very good at computer stuff, but it does mean that you are really lazy.
Bridget
ayla is right....
MIKE
I agree with Deven, I think the the internet is not really not worht it, I think that it is a waste of time, it sometimes help us it's true but I think that internet should only be used to do shcool work or stuff like that, that is the only thing that i use it for. I am sure that there is more than one people that think like Deven and me.
Miguel
I agree with kevin, no one has the time any more, and we have alot of new tecnoligy. Also people do chat to eachother alot online.
Bridget
I agree with Bam, internet should not be everything in people's life. They should do something else like Bam said sports or go out with friends not be on the computer the whole 24 hours of the day.
Miguel
yes it is true a lot of people sit and stare at the computers all night,i do not do any of that execpt i do get on the internet but it is school related or im ordering something online
Bryce
I disagree with keven because if he wants to sit at the computer for hours and not do anything thats his problem.
