Our first day in class, Video Production I, we were given a media log assignment. This assignment called for us to jot down every time we used any type of media for an entire week. All in all this project was supposed to open our eyes and show us how much we use media on a day to day basis, or maybe it was given to the class to assist us in forming a new perspective of how we spend our free time day to day. Below I have posted my media log results, that way you can see how much time media is involved in my life. Hopefully my media data will give you a new perspective on how to spend the rest of your free time....
TYPE OF MEDIA HOURS PER DAY DAYS PER WEEK
Television 2 14
Computer 3 21
Radio 1 7
Cell Phone 3 21
TOTAL: 63 HOURS OF MEDIA USAGE IN ONE WEEK :/
Wow! That really is an eye opener. I'm still learning to navigate and subscribe to blogs, so I am not counting this time as normal usage. Your results show that we use media more than we sleep some nights. Thanks for sharing this. I think the cell phone substitutes for the computer much of my time, especially that I can use Port of Armstrong, Maps, translations, and bank transactions/bill payments on it. So, I REALLY want to see how that works out on my log.
