I was very
surprised to see how little I use media. Personally I thought that I was addicted
to my phone but now looking at my diary I feel as though I am addicted to the
agenda book in my phone. There are alarms that are set and sound 15 min. or 30
min. before an event I have scheduled, I have my whole day, week, and month at
my finger tips! I love it! I am upset that my IPod quit working on my phone and
I don’t think that I used it that much it is just the fact that now that it is
not working I am obsessing over it and getting angry because I can’t listen to
music when in fact I usually just sing to myself anyway. I use to listen to the
radio all the time that was my favorite time driving in the car just listening.
But, now I don’t have a car! I guess in a way I have become less reliant on
Media because I don’t watch TV, don’t listen to the radio any more, and I don’t
hardly use my phone anymore either. I do use my computer for school but this
past week I did not find myself on it as much as I did in the past. I do like
to read the news paper and love to read my book but I am pretty much over being
addicted to Facebook, my phone, and I have always hated TV so that has never
been a problem. I wonder if me not using media as much as my future students
will actually make it harder for me and limit my abilities to teach them in the
most modern way because I don’t enjoy the newest gadgets.
