I chose to do Friday to do my digital media consumption diary. I chose that day, because I only have two classes on Friday's so I knew that the amount of media I came in contact with, would be less than a usual day. However, I found from doing this assignment that I still come into contact with media a lot.
I came to the realization after doing this assignment, that I do a lot of texting. That is my main form of communication to my friends and family when I am away at school. I found that to be really interesting, because I didn't realize how much time I used texting, until I had to write it down every time I received a text or sent a text. The process was very tedious and annoying.
What I came to realize after this assignment is there really isn't a time that people are not exposed to media. Everywhere you look, everything you do seems to be somehow connected to media. There are logos everywhere you turn, and the majority of people my age have their smart phones on them, which connects them to social media, as well as texting, phone calls, and snapchats. I think that it is really cool that we have so many forms of media, and that we are able to use this technology to communicate with others in a lot of different ways. However, I also came to the realization that sometimes it is important to put down the technology, and spend time with the people in your life without having to worry about social media, texting or snapchatting. We have to present in real life with the real relationships we have as well, or else I feel that we become sort of mindless robots that can't communicate outside of technology.
