This week my multiple media activity did not happen so much on the weekend. When there are more options to do outside of the house such as, hanging out with friends, I find that there is no need to stay at home on the computer. But how do we know whats going on if people dont text or call you anymore? Facebook is the answer, Facebook allows people all over the world to post many things including pictures, videos, and any writting that comes to mind. I found out that a friend was going to be at "Sharon Square" a popular hang out spot.
It wouldn't be wise to compare my computer and tv usuage on the weekdays and weekends, because school is a big factor. If School didn't exist my computer and tv usuage would be much higher, possibly to a point of injury. Now that AIS is a laptop school I am spending alot of time on the computer due to school related things but as soon as I finish I close my laptop. Now if school wasn't around every day I would waste my time chatting with friends online, looking at youtube videos, surfing my facebook, ect but thanks to school thats limited to only 2 and a half days.
I agree with you - it's kind of crazy to think that before the internet, everyone hung out with their friends outside, on the beach, in their backyards. Now, our generation is so dependent on the internet and on technology that we're making ourselves vulnerable to media and its consumption. So it raises the question: is it really big corporations fault, or is it us and modern technology?
