Mapping of My Digital Space

Digital Mapping Space

Have you ever thought about where you spend on the most time online? If you're anything like me, you love social media! Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat are among my favorite applications that I use most. However, there's other applications I'm currently using right now that I thought I'd give more insight on and how I apply some of them. For this weeks blog post, I want to share a mapping of my digital space. This activity definitely puts things into perspective!

How To Get Started

The easiest place to start is to figure out what applications you're using the most. Then, you should categorize them in what purpose you use them for: personal or professional. From there, you should determine whether you're a visitor or resident. If you're a visitor on that application, this means you're using it for a specific goal or task. If you're a resident, this means you often go to this application to connect or be with other people (i.e. social media).

As you can see, I spend a lot of time on my phone and laptop with all these applications, ha! I enjoy connecting with my family and friends. However, I do find certain applications helpful for getting information. For example, the Waze application is a GPS that, not only helps me get around, but also tells me how long it'll take me to get to my destination in current traffic and any hazards or construction along the way. 

Another website I visit often is The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The website gives me tools and information to apply to my clinical experience. It has research articles, books, and even health tips.

Digital mapping is a good idea to also figure out what applications you're just wasting time and space on your phone! Focus on the applications that are useful and you get enjoyment out of. You will find more success this way!
