My Media Log:
Wednesday September 1, 2010
This is my account of my media usage for September 1, 2010
1. I first have the TV on while I get dressed and ready to go to class
2. On my way out for class I make a few phone calls
3. While going from class to class and various places around campus, I listen to my Ipod
4. When I get back to my room, I listen to my Ipod or music on the computer
5. I later get on Facebook and check messages as well as other basic things
6. I then get back on my cell phone to make additional calls
7. I end my day watching TV and fall asleep doing such
This exercise has shown me that I use various media styles all throughout my day. But to my surprise, I don’t use any one type of medium as much as I thought I did. Where as many people I know are on Facebook for most of their day, I realized my use is minimal. I did however notice that I have music or the TV on as background noise a lot. Now most of the time I have it on I am not paying in depth attention to it, but it is their nevertheless. In the end, I must say it will be interesting to see how I do with completing the media fast.
I think you might be surprised at how easy it is to give up some things more than others!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm probably one of those people who get on facebook all the time and for absolutely no reason at all. It's a pretty bad habit. Haha. Oh and by the way, I noticed that I like to have music on constantly as background noise too!
