internet zero

I've never been forced to ask myself the question of how much I really use the internet. The biggest thing I've learned about myself since last class in thinking about the world of media around me is that almost none of it comes from the computer. There was a statistic we read about how much information was on the computer and how it rapidly increased with the availability of the internet, and now its somewhere close to 100%. For me, the last time I used the internet was Monday for the Dig. Lit. quiz and using google for a helping hand. When I think about where my inspiration comes from and the images I see that I put in my design, it all comes from the environment that immediately surrounds me.

I have seen the direction where the world is going with technology and for better or worse I know that personally I do not fit there. As the world has grown more complex in technology and average life I think I push farther away from that world. I need something more simple, something that gives my senses a tingle and lets them know that they are still my first line of response to how I interpret the world.
