My Four Indispensable Websites
As I think of the many websites are indispensable in my life, I have four that surpass every other website. Google, Facebook, YouTube, and Wikipedia are major components in my life. Google has been there for me ever since I was in elementary school, and has been the major help for my homework, projects, and assignments throughout my life. Facebook has given me the networking opportunity to meet people across the world and keep in touch with those I don’t get to see often. YouTube has been my entertainment resource throughout several years: on YouTube I laughed at funny videos, learned tremendous amount of information in the videos, and I get to upload my own videos for audiences to see. Last but not least, Wikipedia is the final website in my top four because the website is filled with tremendous amount of information that can be used to enhance an individual’s knowledge right at the tip of their fingers.
Furthermore, I visit all four websites everyday regularly on a daily basis. I spend agonizing amounts of time on all four websites, which makes me feel at times like I’m wasting my life; however I keep doing it and I truly believe I spend eight to nine hours every day in the internet looking for random information. Facebook is the website that I spend the most time on, being that I know so much people and keep in contact with all my eight hundred and seventy eight friends, a lot of my time is wasted on it. I log into Facebook several times a day and while I’m communicating with friends I open three more tabs to cover YouTube, Google and Wikipedia. I’ll say I’ll be on YouTube three hours, Google one hour, Facebook four hours and fifteen minutes, and Wikipedia forty-five minutes.
If there was a monetary value on all four of these websites, I would have to cut at least one because my financial status is not so thrilling at the moment; however, when it comes to Facebook I will pay any amount of money for the service due to the fact that I’m such an addict of the social network. For You Tube and Google I would pay ten dollars a month no more than that because we live in a recession. Finally, I would cut Wikipedia because Google provides me with numerous websites where I can find answers to my questions.
If I could design the perfect website to suit my specific needs it would incorporate Facebook, YouTube, Google, and Wikipedia all in one. The service will be called “Life Link” and it would be free for all. It would give the opportunity to network with others through your profile, find all the videos that the populations want to watch, and have a global reach for data on all topics just like Google. The perfect website combination to execute any type of activity an individual wants to perform.
