The last 24 hours of the media deprivation project where surprisingly easier than I expected it to be. Just like the day before I was able to get few more things done because of the extra time I had out side of using my phone and the Internet. However I don’t think that I would be able to do something like this regularly because mass media is such a major part of my life. Text messaging is one the major ways I stay connected to friends and face book is how I stay connected to friends that are in other states, so without these two networks I feel a little shut out from the world. Another reason I would not be able to do it again is simply because I enjoy being able to listen to my Ipod or listen to the radio while driving in my car. I did learn a lot from the project, for example I learned how much I depend on mass media just to get through my day to day life. I always knew that mass media had a lot of control over me and the people around me; however I was unaware of just how much control I had until I had to do this project. Because of the society we live in it is almost impossible in my opinion to stay connect to the world without at least one form of mass media, whether it be the radio, television, internet or PDA and smart phones mass media is needed and almost mandatory. I learned a lot from this project, it was a good experience to have, one that I won’t forget. Hopefully after this experience I can attempt to limit some forms of mass media from time to time even if it’s just cutting back on browsing the web unless for academic proposes.
