Has anyone ever taken the time to think about how many mass communications we are exposed to daily?
I wake up in the morning to my alarm clock which plays the radio, I turn it off, go to the bathroom, put my cell phone on the music doc and start playing music while I take a shower. Then while I am getting ready, I either listen to music or turn the television. Before I go to class, I get on the internet to check my emails, class syllabus, online homework, Facebook, The Chive, Drudge Report, etc....And then I even might read a chapter out of the book I'm currently reading. On the way to class, I'll listen to music and play games on my phone against my friends across the United States.
While I'm in class, I have a book and Macbook open in front of me, listening to my professor as he lectures with a computer and projector. Sometimes we have to watch movies or Youtube clips during lecture as well. Occasionally, checking my phone the whole time.
At the end of the day, I'll watch television, watch a movie, do homework and study online...and browse all different web sites at the same time. To top it off, I can access all these media contacts from my iPhone, iPad, or Macbook.
That is about 10 media contacts I expose myself to daily. I don't hate it.
