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 2
Monday was my last day to go without mass media. Doing this assignment was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I love watching television and movies so that was the hardest part of it all. On Monday I started it off by going to the gym, which was really hard because I normally listen to my music when I do my workout. Not being able to listen to my music while doing my work out really messed me up. I felt like I couldn't do anything as long as I normally do. They did have the television going while I was working out, but I couldn't see far enough to read it because the sound was turned off. After the gym I went out to lunch with a few friends and my boyfriend. We then went to fast eddies and played some pool and darts. The easiest part was not being on my Facebook or my phone. I don't really like a lot of people to bother me on my days of anyways so it wasn't hard to not look at my phone. I only answered or check for work calling or my mom calling because she freaks out if I don't answer. After we went to fast eddies we hung out at my house for a little we played cards and relaxed. I saw a few old friends I have not hung out with in a while and they came by to see my cats kittens the rest of the night consisted of hanging out with the cats. I can honestly say I could not give up music for the second day in my car, I drove around a lot and in traffic and I had to have the radio on because if not I get frustrated. Music tends to calm me down. I don't see how we could change up our living standards if we had to go without mass media. Living without mass media or technology for two days makes me happy I didn't grow up without it, things would of been a lot more difficult.
