11:40 am. E calls me saying she just woke up and will take about one hour to get to the university. We were supposed to meet today, so I tried to be here on time. Surprisingly, I was not late and here I am since 11:34.
As I have to wait for an hour, I decided to spend it in one of the library's computers.
After logging in, I've noticed I did what I always do first: I checked my e-mail. And I checked the other one, which I use less, right after. Then I signed in in a few sites I'm registered on. One of them is, obviously, this blog.
It made me wonder if we have priorities in the web or not.
Is it a universal web-stablished priority to check our e-mails first? Even when we're not expecting none, or even when we really don't want to (for those who always have 100 messages in their inbox)?
Or are web-priorities as varied as the ones we run our lives with?
I would dare to say this is the right guess and I would too dare to say web-priorities depend exactly on our life-priorities. And web-priorities become, at some point, part of our life-priorities.
I admit the order of my web-priorities depend intirely on what I find more important to me.
I check my personal e-mail accounts first, turn on MSN or Yahoo Messenger and then Skype.
The last thing I do is checking my university e-mails.
People who have an e-mail account they use exclusivly for work check it first thing in the morning when they get to their jobs and maybe last thing in the evening when they don't want to think about work.
And I too admit web-priorities sometimes rule my every-day-life, as I keep turning the computer on and spending hours on it.
I sadly recognise I'm addicted to the web.
But at least I have web-priorities and don't get confused by my web-choices.
And this makes me feel a bit more secure until my computer crashes down for some reason.
