Whats The Longest You've Gone Without "mass Media"

[laser30]

Alright so recently in a course im taking we were required to not use any mass media at all, tv, radio, newspaper, magazines, books, and keep a journal of it all so i wanted to know whats the longest you've ever gone without any of this!?

Well I dunno if this would count, but I watch at most 2 hours of tv a week, I dont listen to the radio cause it sucks here, as far as books/newspaper/magazines the only thing I can read is school textbooks cause I dont have time otherwise.

i don't watch tv at all, nor do i listen to the radio, read magazines, or books. but i read the newspaper every day. but you know, computers are mass media, and we're all using them right now, so your ideals are shot to shit.

I went for years and years, but then I posted on this entry, but on the way I had a pop up and clicked it. Woops now I no longer hold the record for the biggest loser.

I don't watch TV or listen to the radio to begin with. Don't keep a journal either. I read the newspaper irregularaly, maybe a couple of times a month if that, and no magazines at all. Books I read on a pretty frequent basis, both for school courses and for my own interest. The internet on the other hand I use on a nearly daily basis. So the longest time I've spent without doing ANY of those things is probably around a month while traveling/vacationing.

Ahh I suck. I will go on the computer at least an hour a day min. And at least an hour on the computer. I dont listen to the radio alot. However, I do read the newspaper if something is interesting or there is something big is happening in the world.

I've stopped watching TV. The only time I listen to the radio is at work, and I usually skim through the newpapers there.

I travelled throughout Mexico and Central America for 4 months back in 2001, that was the longest I have gone without TV, Music, Magazines and such...

though I did stop in at an internet cafe (when there was one available) once a month to write home...

I went to a camp for a month and had no access to any such media, and have done this twice and both times it is amazing
