I found this assignment fascinating. I expected to be completely shocked by how much I encountered media. But instead, it had the exact opposite effect on me. I sub-consciously used media less because I knew that I was recording it. I also didn't notice much advertisement. I think this is just because I am so busy everyday that I don't notice it.

This assignment also made me realize that my life is so saturated with media advertisement that I have become numb to it. I rarely recognize when it is happening. I think this says a lot about our generation. It find it incredibly unfortunate.
