Day Two: Ok mass media you win...

The start of my second day did not go as well as my first day at all. Once I broke one rule that morning by checking my facebook, I couldn’t help myself. I watched television while eating breakfast and listened to music on my way to work. I felt very much the same actually compared to the previous day though. I still got everything that I wanted to do. Yet one rule I didn’t break was not playing one videogame over the course of these past two days. Surprisingly, I did not mind the break away from the aggravating matches against other online players. Although, it pretty much had to keep myself preoccupied by watching television or else I would have played a videogame on my computer. I actually socialized quite a bit more when I did use some form of mass media because I got on facebook to see what my friends are up to. Once I knew their plan I would meet up with them and call them only when I arrive to let them know that I was there. I did not idle text either which was for the better in my opinion as well. Instead of idle texting, I actually read some comics and time went by so much faster. I felt related more to the comics by not using mass media, because you know Batman doesn’t text, and only uses the computer and television for his Batman crime fighting greatness. :]

Anyways, overall I did enjoy this project much more than I anticipated. It opened my eyes to how much mass media is an important role in our everyday lives. I’m glad I found what I could accomplish while not using any forms of mass media. I think I will take some time out of my day to turn everything off and go socialize with family, friends, and just people in general. If I did not work over these past two days I would of socialized more but I believe I made the best of it and had a really did appreciate this project.
