I know it seems like a lot to be on my phone but I also use the internet on it and I do text a lot. I'm not sure how it would be possible to calculate the texts so I just estimated the times that I was out and the amount of texting with internet usage included. For laptop/pc, it includes my classwork such as angel and research for my paper. Besides classwork, I also play computer games so that is where the heavy usage of laptop comes in. One match or game is about an hour depending on the players. My facebook usage is not that bad. I check it once and then I'm done for the day unless I get a notification through email. My television hours should be a lot higher but because that week I was busy with school and researching for my paper so I did not watch a lot of my TV DVR shows. Also, some shows I watch are going on a break until April [Bones, Fringe, Nikita] or at least have some kind of break during that week so there was no new shows up. Usually when I am on my laptop I have music playing in my background and it is much easier for me to fall asleep listening to music too.
I think my media diet tells people that I do revolve my world around technology a lot, especially my laptop. I believe that people my age would have somewhat similar results depending on the type of activities they are in. I believe that my media diet is just supporting the idea that technology is taking over our lives. We rely on technology for everything we do and we don't think of it as something that is uncommon. Remembering that the week I did my media diet on was a week where I had a lot of school stuff, I could say that my usage of my laptop is definitely lower than usual. I have had this problem of playing too much games before and each time I have taken a long break and then came back to it. With my next quarter classes being more work, I will definitely need to cut back on gaming.
