Guest - Media Log - Jacob K

Sept. 26, 2013 1. This is a typical day for me, I drive home and see billboards, listen to radio stations, and then when I get home I listen to the radio while doing homework or checking Facebook. I go to bed listening to music and then when I get up in the morning my alarm normally goes off with lazar or zrock. After I get through my morning retinae then I check my phone for text, email, and Facebook notifications. I drive to school, more billboards, then off to class where I listen to many teachers throughout the day. After all of this I go back home to start the cycle all over again. 2. I learn from my media exposures, I watch BBC or CNN for world news and try to keep up on what’s going on in the world. Most of the time I am on Facebook or texting my friends to keep up on what is going on or to plan events throughout the month. I always have my phone on me and am constantly checking it. I am attached to my phone and Facebook. 3. The times I am most exposed to media are while I am driving. I spend a lot of my time driving my car and listening to the radio whilst looking at billboards. While I drive it seems that most of the radio stations are 75% ads and only 25% music. All billboards I see are the same general ones every day. When I’m not driving I am checking my Facebook to see what is going on with friends. 4. I am able to multitask at almost all times. I can drive and talk on the phone although I try to avoid that. I also text while walking around the school or while I am working on assignments. At almost all times I am listening to my ipod. I listen to my ipod while doing homework, going to class, and when teachers permit, during class as well. 5. The balance is far sided; I am almost always the audience in the situation. I rarely post things on Facebook and I am always checking Facebook or listening to something. In all my classes I don’t like to participate as much. I try to sit back and listen to learn from others instead of asking myself.
