Digital Media Usage

I noticed that at the beginning of every morning my personal ritual was to go on my phone and browse social media. I did that for most of my morning before I left to go to work. Since I was at work I was unable to really use my phone or computer but when I did it was to browse social media some more. When I left work I still continued to be on social media but now I also had time to reach out to my friends and do other leisurely activities that normally take longer. I noticed I had a nice balance of sharing, communicating and socializing, while my interacting media usage was lacking. I observed that most of this day was spent on social media compared to other days where I am communicating constantly with friends either through text or phone call. Due to work that was not an option. 
My interruption was that most of my time was spent sharing on social media platforms or communicating through them, as I imagine that’s similar for my age group. Sharing was primarily my top usage of this particular day because I was focused on releasing content more than I was actively engaging with my friends. Interacting, was somehow more difficult on this day, I was less concerned about being a spectator. Communicating has always been a big part of my day whether it’s verbally or digitally I am normally reaching out to someone. For this day most of my communication digitally was done after work since I am not really allowed to use my phone. Socializing on this day was primarily done through Instagram where I browsed feed, commented, sent memes or followed my friend’s posts.
