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. :/
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.
ReplyDeleteFive hours of classes in one day is quite a large load!
