To start off, the only kind of word processing software that I’ve been using consistently is with Google Docs because of how convenient it is to not only be able to have all of your material accessible from anywhere, but because I can work on my assignments while on the go or at home.<\/p>\n
Even though I have an iMac at home with word-processing software like ‘Pages’ and \u00a0‘Keynote’, I still used Google drive to do personal writing projects and work related assignments.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This challenge was even harder for me as well because my parents recently got me a laptop for my birthday, and the laptop happens to be a ‘Chromebook’. So from the OS to the control panel, everything on\u00a0it was Google. I’ve been using it for awhile and gotten accustomed to using it for school so its been harder not to use it completely.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
February 12th,<\/span><\/p>\n I had no choice but to use the Excel app on Google drive for an assignment for my Arts Management class… Then while I was working I was tempted to go on Youtube…and I did. I was ashamed…<\/p>\n I tried to stop but then I found a thread on Todd Hiddleston dancing and couldn’t stop. (-_-<\/p>\n February 13th<\/span><\/p>\n My brother (unaware of the Google challenge) wanted to show me funny video on Youtube. I resisted at first but after he pried I watched it.<\/p>\n February 17th<\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately the Mac computers in the Natural Science building did not have the cable port for my Gdrive that I needed to turn in \u00a0homework files… so I had no choice but to use google drive.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Besides those incidents I think I did pretty well in this challenge. I cheated a little at times but for the most part I was strict with myself. I found ‘Bing’ to be extremely annoying, and Firefox to be bearable but I missed Google…<\/p>\n However despite all of my efforts to avoid using Google, I found that you couldn’t completely get away from it! Firefox automatically uses Google to search and even when I wanted to use another search engine like ‘DuckduckGo’ I needed to go through google to find it. (It wasn’t until a friend told me, that I figured out how to insert the address of the search engine without going through google)<\/p>\n ex: ‘bing.com’<\/p>\n I think I didn’t know about this mainly because I was so use to just typing something into the search bar and automatically having google search for it.<\/p>\n Overall I believe this test was\u00a0successful and showed just how much I relied on Google for daily tasks…but I wouldn’t want to do this again.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To start off, the only kind of word processing software that I’ve been using consistently is with Google Docs because of how convenient it is to not only be able to have all of your material accessible from anywhere, but because I can work on my assignments while on the go or at home.
