The journey of my media use documentation that I recorded over the period of a week, was a unique journey. As I have never taken the time to sit and really think hard about all the media I use on a daily basis. Although I wasn’t overwhelmed with how much media I use, which was in a way good, I was still taken back at how regulated my days have become, as I have realised that without even thinking,  everyday I fall into some social media routine that I ultimately follow without any conscious decision. Throughout my documentation I noticed that every morning, the first thing I do is scroll through my Instagram and Facebook feeds, as it if it something I must do or else. Looking back at my documentation, I am worried that what I do with my time, whilst on social media, is not practical or perhaps even pointless. Yet it is interesting to note, that the media tools I don’t use as often, such as PTV website or checking e-banking, is actually very practical, yet the tools I use to most such as twitter, Instagram and Facebook are not overly practical, in most cases. I also noticed that I am 99.9% a media consumer, as I rarely post or publish anything myself. On the rare occasion I will post a photo of my own to Instagram, yet the only major publishing I do is when I post on my blog, for Uni, and that is still only when I have to post. Therefore I can come to the conclusion that after documenting my media use over the last week, I am definitely a consumer of media and less of a publisher or distributor. This take on media is what I will focus most of my essay on.
