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!

Saturday: Day 1
Okay, thankfully my day started late, so having no media wasn't all that bad. Friday night I stayed up late, so I didn't wake up until almost 11. Since I knew that couldn't do anything media related, I decided to focus on school stuff since finals are next week. That was harder than it sounded. Usually during homework I listen to music, so that was kind of hard at first with just silence. I listen to music everywhere. I listen to it walking from class to class, I listen in the car, while working out, and any other situation that I can. As you can imagine, the day was pretty long. As far as social networking, I don't have a Facebook so I didn't worry there, but I do use the Internet for looking at videos and movies when I' am bored. T.V. and the phone are not that bad either. I don't watch T.V. that much and it's easy for me to not text back to somebody. I'll just explain to them Monday why I didn't text back. After I finished studying I washed my car, and then I went to mall to buy some things. I realized that if I was busy the day wasn't that hard to deal with. Later at about 12 PM, I went to the gym and played some basketball. Before I went asleep, I realized how much I depend on music. However, I did find out that I would surive if for some reason I didnt have access to music anymore. It was a very long day but I am glad I went through it because I learned many things about myself that I can use in the future to help me in future situations.
