Wilfing Our Lives Away
After the violent and sad medianote that MC101 students have been talking about earlier this week, I thought it was time to present something that's a little more fun.
Enter "wilfing." Wilfing is short for "What Was I Looking For." It's the term for going onto the Internet looking for something very specific, but then having our attention wander until we find that a significant chunk of time has been spent on aimless web surfing.
And we still don't have the information that we went online to find. What was I looking for?

I do this sometimes, but if I'm looking for something specific, I write it down on paper and then look for that item or event directly before going to the addiction they call MySpace. I didn't realize they had terminology for this action. I wonder if they'll come out with a pill to cure the habit of straying from the main objective. Wait a second, what was I looking for? Oh yeah...Club MediaNote, thanks to the brilliant computer masterminds for bookmarking specific pages.
