Having consciously observed my media consumption for twelve hours I can now safely say I live in a bubble.
Media consumed;
General internet browsing
Facebook.com
Mediatakeout.com
Onlinepoker
BigBang theory
White Collar
TV Movies
CD music while driving
BBM
Technologies used;
Car audio
TV
Computer
Mobile phone
Either by unfortunate accident or unconcious design I am ninety percent oblivious to current news. It was a startling descovery that any local happenings of which I am aware comes to me through BBM messages or status updates and International news through the Mediatakeout.com site. Commuting to work takes me all of five minutes so listening to the morning talk shows are a rare occurrence.
Where do I go from here? What to do about this?
A friend suggested that I tune into the televised morning shows while I perform my morning routine in preparation for work. Purchasing a paper (Express) on my way to or browsing it online at work may also be a way to go and setting the TV timer to see the headlines on the ten pm news is also an option to be considered.
I plan to retake this personal survey in a month's time to see if I have improved, more importantly I hope I will feel the difference as I should be more informed.
