My media and news consumption


12:00 p.m. - Wake up and get on the computer. Go straight to Facebook, play on their for 20 minutes then go to the superficial and read every new blog post I have not seen yet.

3:00 p.m. - Check my Facebook again.

4:00 p.m. - Check Myspace and Facebook again before going to work. Check my astronomy blog.

11:00 p.m. - Watch the news on channel 9 (NBC) for a minute after Sex and the City

12:00 a.m. - Check Facebook.

My news habits and media consumption have changed a lot from when I was a kid. Up until college I rarely watched the news on tv and I don't really now either. I do, however, check online news from CNN.com once and a while. I also never checked any blogs until this year, mostly because blogs did not exist until recently.

I think as I get older my media consumption will change a lot. I will watch news channels a lot more and check news blogs too. Also, I think media will change so my media habits will change with it. News alerts will come to me via text and I will be able to pick and choose what media I want to read on my phone. Mini computers will become the norm and the tv, computer, phone and radio will all be one.

As I become older my choice in media will change too. I don't think I will be reading celebrity gossip blogs in a few years, but who knows?
