9/26/13 1.) My day was a very typical day of media exposure so far. My typical day usually consists of waking up to my alarm which is the radio. I sit there and listen to it for a moment and then I turn it off. I usually check my phone before getting out of bed, whether it’s checking twitter or send a text message. On my way to school I usually listen to my own music or turn on the radio. For my first hour class we usually look at the latest car news (my first hour is auto mechanics). During passing time after 1st hour I checked my phone and sent out texts to my friends, and listened to the passing time music. I did programming in my java class and then went to lunch. At lunch I check my phone and go on twitter. After lunch I go to my graphic design class and work on pictures with Photoshop. I watched a YouTube video in stats which actually is atypical but it pertained to the class. And finally throughout the day I’m always talking to friends and teachers. 2.) My most frequent media exposures are YouTube, Twitter and television. On YouTube anyone can be exposed to a variety of things. There are ads that show off products and things people want to sell, educational videos, gaming videos, funny videos, basically you name it they have it. Then I would say television is also something I am exposed to a lot. Again there is a multitude of things to watch on TV so it depends on what you watch. And then finally twitter. I would say im mostly exposed to what my friends have to say and check on what events are upcoming. 3.) The highest exposure level I have to media is after school. Usually the first thing I do when I get home is go on the computer and watch YouTube videos. During my time with the media I usually see lots of news stories, funny videos and play video games. 4.) My ability to multitask is horrid. If I’m on my phone or doing homework everything else is blocked out. Even if my friends try to talk to me I don’t even know what they’re saying. 5.) I am most definitely the audience when it comes to the balance of the media. I usually wait for someone to text me instead of texting them. When I’m on YouTube I rarely upload anything and I am always watching other people videos. When it comes to Twitter I never tweet anything. I think I’ve tweeted 20 times over the span of 2 years. That goes with most social networking.
