Below are examples of media I experienced over a three-day period.
1. Walking to math class – heard a random student singing Soulja Boy’s “Crank That”.
2. Coming home after school – saw my brother wearing a Brock University sweatshirt and Champion pants.
3. Driving to Work – heard Chum FM’s entertainment update on Britney’s Spears and Christina Agulliera.
4. Working – changed into Stoney Creek Furniture uniform.
- placed signs throughout the store advertising SCF’s scratch and save event.
5. Driving home – Bus stop advertising Mohawk college and real estate realtors.
6. Watching Grey’s Anatomy – watched commercials advertising car insurance, Bailey’s, Colgate toothpaste Papa John’s pizza, Kleenex, McCain frozen drinks, Astro yogurt, House, Future Shop, Ford.
7. On the computer – Used MSN and Facebook to communicate with friends.
- Pop up on “Love Fortune Teller”
8. Watching TV – CH new reporting local events and issues.
9. Reading People Magazine – Entertainment scoop section listing details of current star’s actions.
- Advertisements for Always, Milk, Adidas, etc.
10. Looked at fridge – Magnets advertising Flower’s by Diane and Pizza Pizza.
I am not surprised at all when I reflect on my media interactions. Although I was exposed to it a lot over the last three days, it did not seem unusual.
I never noticed how many people wear brand names and logo’s on their clothing. When I saw my brother with a Brock hoodie and Champion pants, I analyzed my own closet. The majority of my shirts had American Eagle, Hollister or Campus Crew on the front. I believe that we are exposed to so much media today in 2008 that we have become immune to it and no longer pay attention. Through television, the radio, posters and signs, we are constantly surrounded by the media and as technology improves it will only become more popular. While watching TV, a media source in itself, I also watched a TON of commercials. Everywhere you look, including the small town of Stoney Creek, you can see at least one type of media. Nonetheless, I believe the amount of technology in the world right now is “just right” because everyone is used to it!
