Media Review

It seems like I spend about 2-3 hours a day interacting with media.  It seems like I spend most of my time with media on the weekends.  The day I would spend less are the days I have over 5 hours of classes.  I spend any time of the day with media whether it be in the morning, afternoon, or late at night.

When it comes to using media I mostly use digital.  I watch my TV shows/movies on Netlfix, contact people through email and Facebook, and usually use the web for research.  Every once in a while I'll pick up a magazine and read it, and when I'm driving around I tend to listen to the radio.

I usually use media for entertainment and to keep in contact with others.  Facebook for instance is a very good way to get in contact with me.  I use it to regulate my intramural hockey team, figure out what time soccer games are, plan events, and of course play words.  If I'm overwhelmed with homework I might go play a video game instead of doing homework. 

I do multi-task quite often while using media.  My laptop has a pretty decent screen size and I'm able to put two internet windows right next to each other.  If I get desperate I can hook up my TV for even more screen space and better sound quality for music.  Its nice to be able to multi-task especially when editing photos or videos, uploading them to Facebook, or just doing research for homework.

I didn't really learn much about my media use, I already knew that I'm around it a lot and that its easy to access now a days. In fact its kind of hard to get away from it. :/

  1. Thanks Kevin...I noticed that the web link you posted on the class list was incorrect. I think that's why you didn't not have a response today in class. It is corrected now.

    Five hours of classes in one day is quite a large load!
