A Media Mover

Ok, I did the test and it said that I am a media mover:

If you are a Media Mover, you have a wide range of online and mobile habits, and you are bound to find or create an information nugget, such as a digital photo, and pass it on. These social exchanges are central to your use of information and communication technology. Cyberspace, as a path to personal productivity or an outlet for creativity, is less important to you.

Mmh, I'm not sure how meaningful this test is. There were surely not enough questions to be able to find out what kind of Tech User I am. Of course, I use the internet quite often to get the information I need and I also use social webpages to stay in touch with friends and family-but aren't we all more or less the same?
As well as that, I don't think that my habits have significantly changed since taking our course. The only thing is that I try to look more specifically for the things I need or look for and not just vistit the first webpage that comes up when seraching something via google.

While doing this test I was thinking about my dependence from the internet and my mobile phone. It would be very hard for me to give up either and that is something that I don't actually like. Isn't it horrible to be that dependent from technical stuff? I wonder what would happen if I gave up using the internet for a few days or a week....Well, it's basically impossible, isn't it? University alone forces me to go online reguarly to do the taks I am supposed to do...
