Guest - Media Log - Justin F

Yesterday was just another typical day for me. I went to school, came home, listened to music, did my homework, played my drums, ate some food, and went to bed. However yesterday I paid a lot more attention to media exposure and wow I never realized how much media exposure I run into on a day to day basis! It seemed almost every ten minutes I heard something new! The most frequent exposure seemed to be on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Out of these options, Facebook seemed to have the most exposure. I read many posts from people and saw a lot of advertisements. Twitter I saw a lot of status’s or tweets but not as many advertisements, if any at all. On YouTube I saw many videos. Just alone on the main page about 10 videos pop up that you can watch. There are certain windows of time I’m exposed to media. This is usually around 3:30 when I get home from school. I like to get home and take a little break and go on the computer and check Facebook or listen to music. When we get off school, 95% of kids probably check Facebook right away and post a status like “Yay schools out!” As you can see from the graphs, Social Networking takes up most of the circle. My ability to multitask is pretty good. I usually have music playing while I’m doing homework. I can’t just sit in a quiet room and do homework; I need something to be happening. I usually use music as a background noise. Even when I’m driving I might not even like the song on the radio but I still keep it on as a background noise. When it comes to speaker vs. audience I’m more of the audience. I put up statuses but I read a lot more updates.
