I used my phone the most for texting in that I texted at lease once during 16 out of the 48 hours. Total, it added up to about 69 minutes. However, I watched TV the most in the amount of minutes/hours, which is 4 1/2 hours.  Which one form of media did you use the least (but still use)? How much time did you use it? I checked my e-mail the least. I spent a little over 5 minutes total on it.  How much time was spent communicating with another person over media (phone, e-mail, etc.)? I communicated via texting for about 69 minutes and about 10 minutes on the phone.  I checked my email, but never responded to an email.  How much time was spent using media that was monologic (one-sided, such as TV or radio)? 9 hours was spent between TV, sermon on laptop, and pandora music.  What surprised you about the amount of time you spent engaged in the use of media? Why?  It seems like I spend more time with media than I do with people and communicating with them face to face. I knew I watched a lot of TV and monologic media, but it puts it into perspective seeing the hours add up over 48 hours.  Based on this exercise, will you do anything differently (increase or decrease) in using media? Why? I don't think I will do anything too different.  The days I choose to keep track of my media times are slower days because it is the weekend.  During the week days I do not spend as much time listening to music or watching TV. I do text a lot, but I won't change that.   If the answer to question F was no, why will you maintain the current amount of time you spend using media? I know I could do with less time using media, but I don't think I over-do it.  Ideally, there are some things I would like to change, like less TV and Facebook, but I don't think it will happen.
