How important is today's mass media in our lives? Going 48 hours without TV, radio, Internet, film, social media, MP3 players, and even cell phones will help answer that question as my Mass Communications students and I will undergo such an experience. To say it won't be easy is an understatement! Wish us luck!

day 1
okay so this is pretty interesting. i did pretty well all Saturday morning but not having work started making it a little difficult as the day progressed. My cell phone is my best friend and is literally in my hand anywhere between 15 -18 hours a day with me just waiting for it to vibrate. it did slip my mind that i had this "media deprivation project" that I'm supposed to be doing. So around 1pm comes around and i get a text message from my beautiful girlfriend. Apparently she "forgot" that i wasn't allowed to text her for the next two days. But Stupid me, just out of habit opens the phone up and starts to text away. As far as the radio, i mean i love music, i am a fan of all types of music but i can do without it. It is kinda weird driving in complete silence though, especially when you have bad tires. All i can hear is this really annoying "wom! wom! wom! wom!" sound coming from my tires. Now deprivation of the Internet is also pretty interesting considering that i am a new user of face book. i almost logged onto my face book account but caught it while i was typing in my password. i don't know how everyone else feels about this but this project will reveal a lot about yourself and things you rely on. Its actually kinda creepy.
