After writing the evidence and evaluation blog posts, I have realised that what I have not yet documented is how I felt writing the documentation, and that in a sense I was bored documenting my media use, as I felt as though I was writing the exact same or similar things every day. This therefore made me realise that I have created a routine for myself in terms of using media, as everyday I felt was just copying the previous day. Therefore what I can work on is perhaps broadening my media use or think more creatively about how I do use media on a daily basis. However as I can only reflect on what I have already documented, I can therefore form an argument stating, media has the ability to shape our daily routines, as we become addicted to it. Yet as we become addicted to it, then the media has the power to filter what we watch, depending on what we enjoy watching, as this occurs on Youtube, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Therefore our lives literally can become controlled by the media. Another proposition, is the fact that me, and like so many others in this world, are consumers of media, yet I have come to notice that all I do is consume media, when I use media. There is the exception, that I do publish or distribute media when I am posting on my blog, or posting a photo of mine to Instagram. Yet I have realised that I don’t do any other kind of publishing or distributing of media, not even often online to friends anymore. I have simply grown so accustomed to watching and consuming media, and perhaps that is because there is now too much media being published in this world and online, that maybe it is just easier to consume media, and leave it at that.
