Blog 11: Media Audit Pt. 2

I chose to do another day of the week where I monitored my media. I chose to do it on a Wednesday because I’m done with class at 11:00. I conducted it the same way I did before, but this time I was more aware of the facts that I was monitoring my media usage. The major thing I noticed was that my Netflix time went down A LOT, but my school related media went up a lot. This was due to the fact that I had a psych test, a math test, a basic skills test, and an essay due the next day, so I was basically holed-up in my dorm and studied. I still watched some Netflix, but it was mostly during meal times (the only breaks from studying I took that day) and before I went to bed. The school related media I used was mostly email, word, various school websites, and my online textbooks. I had like 12 tabs open on my computer at one time. My time spent on Instagram and Snapchat didn’t change much. I still did little, periodical checks during my studying. Because I did have so much due the next day, it made me wish I had picked a different day because that’s not how my normal day goes, but it was interesting to see how much media I used when I did have a lot going on.
