I have my head in the sand, or so the BBC is telling me

According to the BBC lab, I am an ostrich when it comes to the internet. Using "The Virtual Revolution" and their web behavior test, I have worked out my web surfing animal counterpart. Though to be fair, it could of been something a BIT more interesting than an ostrich? I could of been a bear, or a fox...I could of been an leopard!

But each to their own, I accept my animal companion and will keep venturing into the internet. Only, I don't really understand how you can put people into categories when using the internet. Surely we each have our own styles and we are all individuals? Though, and what I find highly ironic, was when "The Virtual Revolution" announced that the test was available for people to start taking...the surge in people trying to do the quiz caused the server to crash...what's so revolutionary about that?

But the test itself was...interesting. Being bombarded with the normal survey question of "how long do you spend on the internet" or "how many hours do you spend on social networking sites" I thought it was going to be a tedious twenty minutes with a non reliable outcome. I have to say though; I was slightly disgusted with myself, over 40 hours at least on social network sites? You'd think I lived with my cats or something. The worst part is I most likely spend most of my time...talking to my flat mates...Who live directly opposite me....I think I need Facebook Therapy or something..
However, it then introduced games, and no matter if you're in University or Primary School, when a game is part of a survey, that survey is therefore, to say academically, awesome.
Using things such as multi-tasking games and memory games it comes up with your results in a bit more of reliable, real life sense.
But, I do feel a bit cheated. On one of the games, where you type 'Y' or 'N' if a red candy bar changes positions, I was totally unsure as I was doing it, and therefore my score was a pitiful...3.

Ah well, maybe it's for the best. If I had been a majestic member of the cat family I would of become too cocky for myself.
So Ostrich is probably the best way to go. Who knows, I could get used to sand. Or Facebook, whichever the internet counterpart is.

You are a Web Ostrich

Fast-moving - We can tell from your results that you are a speedy surfer - one of the characteristics of the Web Ostrich, whose real-world counterpart has an impressive top speed of 45mph.

Sociable - The web is a social place. You take full advantage of this when you search for information by using social networks and other sites whose content is created by its users. Real-world ostriches are also highly social, even keeping eggs in each other’s nests to share the burden.

Specialised - The real-world ostrich is a true specialist, highly adapted to survive in hot, dusty African grasslands. You might not be at risk from lions when browsing the web, but you are still very focused. From your test we can tell you do best when you concentrate on one task at time, rather than several things at once.
