Assignment 21

It is hard for me to choose what my favorite hobby above all is but I would say going on the internet interests me the most. Out of my favorite activities like hiking and watching anything to do with science and space I prefer to  surf the internet because there is so much information and other stuff on it. The variety of websites are tremendous and you can browse for hours without end but its not recommended to.  Some websites like Google and Yahoo are search engines that help you find other websites that aren't as popular but help with your search and others like Facebook and Twitter are social media sites that allow you to communicate to your friends around the globe for free.

I have a Facebook account like everyone else in the world but I don't like using it, I prefer to have it just for fun and I rarely log onto it. Social media is not that interesting to me because I feel that if you really want to talk to friends you should do it in person or through the phone at least, not putting messages on Facebook and Twitter where everyone can see. Also when I do log on I come across very stupid posts usually about song quotes that have little to nothing to do with their personal life, or people who put things just to get noticed.

I prefer websites that you can spend time on and get something out of it, even if it is knowledge of how to properly clean your keyboard, I use picture/video sharing sites to goof off. My go to website when I log onto my computer is Youtube, it is one of the most well known video sharing sites that attracts viewers from all ages daily. I have been using Youtube since late 2009 and I have an account which I use on a daily basis. It has been up and running since February 14, 2005 and in November Youtube was bought by Google. The videos I enjoy to watch are music videos, scientific information, gaming, and funny videos. There is one channel in particular which I look forward to watching weekly and its called VSauce, this channel produces videos that inform you on weird facts from around the world and have a very large audience.

Template of a meme

One of my other favorite websites is not appropriate for school so I can't mention it, it is not illegal but has very strong language. Another favorite of mine is called Memebase and it is a picture sharing website that only makes certain type of images called memes, you must first know the reference before you can understand the joke (like inside jokes). You can make your own very easily by using and already made template and you only have to add your words to it. These kinds of pictures have become very popular among us teenagers for the past two years and has been growing world wide by implementing them into everyday objects like stickers, hats, scarfs, and posters.
