My Media Consumption

7:30 am The portal to nearly all of my media activity is my iPhone. I wake up at 7:30 am and immediately check my text messages. I sort through the messages by level of importance, assigning a mental ranking to the individuals. I also check my Groupme account where my work related messages let me know what to expect when I get to my job. By 8 am I am ready to check my Instagram account. I usually scroll through the comments to my posts and respond to them. Following this I comment on accounts that I follow. After this I answer direct messages from my friends. Finally I watch funny videos or pet videos to get me ready for the day in a good mood.

8:15 am By now I am at breakfast with my sister and father. Here we have a non phone policy so my media intake is limited.

9:00 am I am at work. I can only check my phone during my breaks at which time I check my Gmail account to see if my assignments have been graded. I am also checking for shipping information for things I have ordered online.

Later in the day during my lunch break which has no set time, I again check my instagram account. I look for any responses to my earlier texts and comments or any new comments on my posts. At this time I also check my Snapchat account for messages from my friends. I answer them through this media platform as well as communicate with my coworkers. During lunch I also check my dogs instagram account and answer messages left for them.

5:30 pm and I am on my way home form work and I’m back on my phone checking emails, and texts. I also spend time in Instagram checking comments to my posts and stories. Once home I check Youtube for the latest news headlines and follow a story about a terror attack in Moscow.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IPnwt2bZvk

I also ran across this interesting news highlight about Generation Z and voting.
