Back in high school, they used to set up website blocking programs on the computers. It kept us from getting to Facebook, Youtube, and other sites we liked to visit. It was a constant struggle to try to find a way around the system (we learned very quickly that the system only understood English).

After thinking about this, the following scenario popped into my head:

What if we could only get to one website?

What would that one website be?

If I could only get to one website, I would not be a happy camper. As I said in one of my previous posts, I have eight websites I visit on a regular basis (https://www.mediapost.com/blogs/digital_frontier/?p=591#comment-1231). How would I be able to get by on just one of them? I would have to start prioritizing.

I can easily narrow it down to two websites: Gmail and Facebook. Gmail is my command center for all of my classes, my small business, and other daily tasks. Facebook could be seen as my public relations department (For all those Twitter users out there, Twitter is like a mini press box to me). This is where my decision becomes clear. Why would you need a public relations department if you did not have a command center?

Gmail would have to be my number one choice. I could survive without Facebook and other websites. I just see Gmail (or any email) as one of the most efficient ways to communicate with others. Without email, I would not be able to do business or communicate as well as I do now.

I leave you with this question:

What is the one website you cannot live without?
