Sunday-This is usually my lazy stay in bed and do nothing day. Because of this I will usually end up staying in my room either watching tv or surfing the net. I usually have espn playing on the tv to watch any sports footage that I have missed during the week, and while on my computer surfing the net the site that you will find me most regularly on is facebook.com. I will also have fratmusic.fm, or hulu.com on also to either listen to music or to watch a television show that I did not have the time to watch during the weekday. This weekend was actually a very hectic and busy Sunday so I actually did not spend much time at my house so I did not do any of this but was out doing errands. But usually I spend many hours (3-4?) switching between my tv and my laptop when I am not taking a nap.
Monday-Mondays are one of my more busy days because I have class untill 6, but when I get home one of the first thing I find myself doing is going onto my laptop to check if anyone has sent me a message on facebook. Other things I will use my laptop for on Mondays will be to do homework. This is because most of my classes have online reading and online homework so I will find myself on the internet usually for a good 3 hours.
Tuesday-Is pretty much the same as Monday but instead of class I will be at work. While at work I will also be on the computer doing homework, and this is also when you will find me on fratmusic.fm listing to music. Other then that I usually not use any other type of technology during the day but you will find me outside being active.
Wednesday-Is completely the same as Monday. Except for this week because I had a midterm so I was on the internet much longer (5 hours) doing practice exams and going over power points.
Thursday-My Thursday are a little bit more relaxed so after classes I usually find myself surfing the internet. (usually about and hour) Besides Sundays, Thursday will also be the day you would most likely find me watching television. I didnt grow up watching much T.V. but if there is a movie or something that I find interesting and I have nothing else to do ill sit down and watch it. (usually for about 2 hours)
Friday- What can I say, its a Friday, I dont have much class and no homework so the only time you will find my on my laptop is if I am checking my facebook or email. (30 mins?) Besides this Im usually outside doing something =)
I already know that the biggest form of media that I consume would have to be the internet and facebook in particular. I would not be surprised if this is true with many more people. I believe that this just shows a shift in how people communicate with each other in this society. If I had the choice to change any of my media consumption I would actually choose not to change much. I do not find it a bad thing that facebook is the biggest form of media that I consume. If might be because I am in college and with this certain age group I find it easiest to get in touch with people using facebook. Additionally what I actually did not include in my 5-6 day media diet was the use of my phone or ipod. While at the gym or walking anywhere I will be listing to my ipod, and of course I am always using my phone to call and txt people all day. I do not find this to be awkward from other peoples media consumption at all and am pretty sure that Im just another regular user media/technology.
