No Media: Wrap up

This project was really an eye opening experience As I have stated before, I never realized how much I am attached to the media.

What makes it really difficult is practically everyone these days are always “plugged in” that it has become a way of life.

I think all people should try this experiment out for themselves, just to see if they could handle it.

The many forms of media I chose to do without maybe a bit extreme for many people, but just try to cut out tv for a week or something like that. You are truly able to see how much of your day is consumed with the media.

Before this experiment, I would jump online for any old reason while listening to music, not thinking anything of it. During the week where I couldn’t do any of these simple tasks really made me thankful for what has become to be the small things in life.

This was definitely one of the hardest things that I have had to do in a long time.

Now that the experiment is over I am really glad I did it. I hope all the other participants enjoyed it as much as I did.
