Media Fast

I chose to do my media fast on Friday, September 3, because I was going to be traveling and would not have access to as many media opportunities as I would on any other day. As I woke up to begin the day, I spent all of my time packing and getting my things ready to go. While driving, I caught myself twice trying to listen to the radio and quickly cut it off. By driving with no radio, I was able to think about the school work that I have piling up and concentrate on my driving. I received one phone call, however, but it was from my boss asking me some questions. Upon my arrival to my destination, I talked with my friends for hours. We then left and went to the store where not much media was involved except the occasional store music, which I do not classify as music at all. Overall, I thought that by doing the media fast, my cellphone and television were the hardest to be without. I also thought that the fast made me feel as if I was a caveman living in a time with no modern day necessities.
