My first day of being unplugged was very hard to swallow. I am so use to just going from class to class on my cell phone or getting in my car and listening to music. I found it very hard to shy away from using any media, everywhere I went there was a television or radio on. My first day was a Monday, and I had to drive to my house, which is 45 minutes away from my dorm. My radio in my car was already on from the day before and I caught myself listening to it without even thinking about it.
I noticed that day how I don't even think about all the times I have just gotten in my car and listened to music without even realizing it. In my car I like to listen to the radio because I get bored sitting in traffic staring at brake-lights and watching people do the things they do when they think no one is looking. That day I did just that, I watched people. I noticed that about 75% of the people sitting in traffic were singing along with their stereos. I thought to myself, "I wonder if these people have ever thought about going on a complete media blackout." I concluded that probably 100% of those people had never even questioned whether or not they could go without media for seven days. People average 40% of their day and 60% of their waking hours with the mass media (Vivian, pg. 3). .
On day one of my media blackout I felt like a bigger person than the people sitting in traffic along with me simply because I felt like I was doing something most people would not even attempt or want to do.
Day two was a little harder for me. I felt very disconnected from my family and friends. I hadn't been able to answer their phone calls and they all began to wonder what had happened to me. I spend most of my day on the phone. So it was kind of strange to have been two days without being on the phone. I found myself answering the phone and realizing that was a stupid thing to do and having to explain to my friends why I wasn't going to be able to talk to them for another five days.
