My media use.

My purpose with this blog entry is to describe thickly my interaction on social media.

My research was centered and focused from 23th of October – 25^th of October. In total 48 hours. Everytime I used social media I wrote it down on a word document. I wrote down the date, time, which app or webside and my purpose. I used my iPhone 4 and my Asus computer. I was focused on tree social media: Facebook, Snapchat and instagram. To be honest I use several others social media applications and services, for an example; bloglovin’, Trendsales, spotify and so on.  But to do it simple and more uncluttered I simply chose to only focus on my most used social media applications.

I found out that I am online 24 hours a day. Simply, because I can. When people was trying to reach me, trough ex. Facebook I saw their messages right away. Sometimes I choose to respond a couple of hours later than I received the message, and sometimes I responded right away – because I could.  That was the most interesting about my tracking plan, that I actually was online all the time every day. Even when I woke up in the middle of the night, I had received snaps or facebookmessages – read them right away, but sometimes chose to respond in the morning.

That brings me to the next step: I was good at sorting in my facebook messages, snapchats and likes on insta. If it was important I responded, or if I was bored I responded. If I was busy I waited till I had the time to respond, and if people approached again on one of the tree social medias I chose again to respond when I had the time.

I was not trying to be rude, but if I was busy it was more important for me to respond later. I was almost always responding, but when I felt like it made sense for me. It makes sense to conclude that for me facebook messages, likes on instagram and snaps from my friends is not the same as a “hej” when meeting a friend IRL. I noticed that ofcourse I was responding the “hej” right away – because it made sense for me at the time. It was not making any sense to keep on being busy, and not respond to the “hej” that would just made the situation awkward(!!). The situation was not awkward when I was waiting to respond. That was at least my believe.

Braindump 1

a couple of weeks ago we were in my class digital identity asked to make a braindump. actually I did'nt post my braindump after the class because I still had'nt created my blog yet. Now, I'm more comfortable posting blog entrys now, and therefore this entry is about my first braindump. We where asked to type all of our thoughts down in 20 min. our thoughts should be centered by the last time we where engaged in social media interaction.
I wrote my thoughts down in danish, and we where not allowed to correct any spellingmistakes.

this was my result:

Jeg var til morgenmad med min søster i morges og vi fik en god morgen mad med youghurt , brød og kaffe. Min søster valgte at ligge et billed på instagram af mig, og vores overdådige morgenmadsbuffet. Hvor til hun skrev på billedet at det var en god start på hendes fridag.

Jeg aner ikke hvad jeg skal skrive jeg aner ikke hvad jeg skal skrive lige nu … jeg havde det helt fint med dette, selvom jeg var træt og det var et dårligt billede så var det da fint. Hun tog flere billeder af mig fordi at jeg så ret træt ud på nogle af billederne. Derfor valgte hun at lægge et billed op hvor jeg kigger ned så man ikke kunne se mine alt for trætte øjne. hvilket var ganske fint – for vinklen var ret god. Billedet fik likes af venner og veninder der fulgte min søster. Selv overvejede jeg at lægge et billede op af hende og morgenmads bordet, men jeg valgte ikke at gøre det alligevel da

Jeg aner ikke hvad jeg skal skrive jeg aner ikke hvad jeg skal skrive jeg aner ikke hvad jeg skal skrive jeg ner ike hvad jeg skal skrive jeg synes måske det var lidt akavet eller lidt for åbenlyst at vi begge postede et billede af at viv var til morgenmadsbuffet. For vi har jo nogenlune samme følgere ogsv. Og hvad ville de ikke tænke . et par timer efter tjekkede jeg om det havde fået flere likes og det havde det skam. Billedet var stadig fint og det var godkendt.

Jeg låste mig selv ude i dag hvilket var ret så irriterende da det fik ud over at jeg ikke kunne kæse, men det var der ikke noget at fgøre ved  min mobil fik  ud og jdg måtte tage ind til byen for at få tiden til at gå dtil je vidste min roomie var hjemme igen.  Jeg ville gerne have instagrammet der, eller i hvert fald kunne ringe til en. Men mobilen var gået ud og jeg overvejede hvor afhænging man er blvet at de soviale medier,

Endelig kom jeg ind og det første jeg gjorde var at få tladet min mobil op så jeg kunne tjekke om nadre havde liket billedet min søster havde lagt op. Det var der, og dette gjorde mig tglad. Samtidig fik jeg en sms fra min søster der beklageligvis havde fået min nøglle med hjem om heg var kommet hind i gen, ja efter 5 timer i byen var jeg ommet ind. Jeg var lidt træt af hele situationen og normalt ville jeg like billedet, min søser havde lagt op, men fordi jeg manglede en af blame så var det hende jeg gav skylden for at hae låst mig selv ude. Derfor fik billedet ikke et like a mig, og jeg fik svaret en lidt sur besked igen at jeg heldigvis var jeg da inde men at det da også havde taget sin tid. Så en ellers hyggelig morgen bleb sq lidt ødelagt og billedet på instagram bliver i stedet et irritationsmoment end et godt minde. stAdigvæk kan jeg ikke lade være lige at tjekke hvem der dog har liket det yderligere. Men sådan er det vel med de sociale medier – at deres betydning ændres eller dvs de situationer de bliver taget i ændres alt efter hvad der sker efterfølgende i det virkelige liv. Billedet af mig blev en irritation, ikke fordi det var et dårligt billeder, men fordi det var mindede mig om at jeg efter dette billede havde gået 5 timer og vebtet oå at kunne komme ind i min lehlighed.

Gklhcv,,mnvvbnmkjhgfghjktyuioiuyreweruiuytrewqqwertyuikjhgfddjhgfdsasdfghjklaner ikke hvad jeg mere skal skrive`????????????????????????????????????????????,jhgfdghjklkjhgfdfghjklpoiuytrertyuiopoiudssdfgfgfgfggygygygygygygygygygygggghhhhhhhhhjjjjjjjjjjjjjjkeder mig lidt, er der snart gået 20m in? 5 nin endnu, har jeg ikke udnyttet min tid godt nok-? Er faktisk også mega sulten fordi jeg netop ikke har fået noget mad siden jeg låste mig selv ude, og siden jeg vra til morgenmadsbuffet. Jeg er vidst ikke den eneste der dsidder og ikke ved hvad jeg skal skrive. 4 min – måske jeg kan nå at tjekke biledet igen for liks ? eller burde jeg kommenterer, tak for en dejlig dag? Selvom eg stadig er lidt irriteret. Jjjjjl jeg naer ikke hvad jeg skal skrive, jeg aner ikke hvad jeg skal skrive, jeg aner ikke hvad jeg skal skrive jg aner ikke hvad jeg skal skrie jeg aner ikke hvad jeg skal skrive. Jegtror ikke jeg har tænkt så meget over et billede før – men jeg er egentlig glad for at hun ikke valgte et af de andre billeder af mig. For der var mine øjne da virkelig trætte og hævede. Men morgenmaden var sq god! Kunne sagtens spise en nutella mad lige nu. Hvorfor spste jeg dog ikke også noget mere? Øv hvor irriterende. Jeg kan altså ikke skrive mere – burde jeg have lagt et billede op af min søster og morgenmad ? hmm.. mpske.. den gør jeg en anden gang s.å… r

My tracking plan

I want to track my mediause for 48 hours. therefor in this blogentry I will considerate how to capture my mediause. I know that I am a hardcore mediauser - actually I will consider myself addicted to media and the social interaction on mediaplatforms.
afterwords I will in 24 hours fast from all media. I will not log on Facebook, snapchat or instagram which are the apps I usually use everyday. They are in fact unnecessary, or at least that is my thesis before my media track.

My 48 hour trackingplan:
From 23th october - 25th october I will track all of my media use.
I want to write down in hand my media use. Therefor I'll write down in my journal every time I log on and use social media.
I have three points I want to review.

• which media did I use? Facebook, instagram or snapchat?
• for how long? and at what time? I'll write down date and time. 
• and why? consider what was the purpose? 

Changes may occur along the process - if my plan is not working as I planned, I 'll make some changes. These changes will be descriped in a evaluation after the 48 hours mediatrack. I will post my notes to the blog by midnight 25th october. 

My thoughts about digital life and interaction.

I’m a user on Facebook, on instagram and I read blogs, every day, every hour almost every minute. I’m online 24 hours a day and I know everything about my friends on Facebook and Instagram. I have friends on Facebook that I would never say “hey” to IRL - in real life(!!!). I follow people on Instagram I don’t even know in real life. More importantly I read blogs every day from people I don’t know, I know about their life and I know what they are wearing every single day. They don’t know about me and my life, they don’t even know what I’m wearing every day.

I would like to explore why we in real life are so careful about who we say “hey” to and interact with. For me there is a set of rules of how you interact with different people you meet IRL. We don’t talk to each other in the line at the supermarket, but we have no problem “liking” a picture from a stranger on Instagram. Online, those rules are totally changed. It is okay to interact with people you don’t even know. And, on Facebook we are suddenly closer friends online than we are offline. 

 

my day as a observator at Føtex

Observator of kassier 13:

I observated 4 costumers at Føtex from 16.48-17.02. it was 15 mins of observation. First costumer was a male with classes, a black coat and bourdaux pants. He was nicely dressed. Almost like a business man. He was paying with his creditcard but the machine was kinda slow. Finally the payment went trough and his wallet came quickly in his pocket again. The pack was stuck in the machine, but with some handpower the plastic bag with growcery was free. Next customer was a young man in a grey jacket – not as nice dressed as the former man. He had light hair and was really quick with bib’in in his growcery. He was like the other man using a plastic bag from Føtex. he bought some tomatoes and was clicking them in manuelt. He also payed with a creditcard. When he was finished he but his basket with the other baskets.

Next customer was a woman, she did not use a plastic bag. She had a small bagpack on her shoulders. She had a lot of growseries – some she had to bib in manuelt. But at one time it did’nt work, so she raised her hand and per automatic a føtex worker come to help the lady with her potatoes. The woman thanks the worker and carried on bibing her things. She just put her growseries in the table next to the machine, and did’nt used a plastic pag to collect it and thereby make easy acces to the next costumer. She also payed with a creditcard. She takes of her bag, and starting filling it with her growseries. But with a lot of growseries it takes a lot of time. You can tell that the other customers is a bit impatient. And the worker there before helped her, is now cleaning up around the machine, maybe to rush her a bit. She is finally finished. The next customer is a young couple. The girl is paying, first with her creditcard – it takes a while and you can not tell what is happening, but suddenly she decides to pay with money instead. The first customer of the 4 that actually pays with coins. Meanwhile a man in a red jacket is really impatient. His is standing in the middle of it all, and impaitiently waiting for the next cashier to be free. Finally cashier 16 is free.

Journal:

Det føltes lidt intimiderende at observerer så  nøje efter når folk man observerede ikke helt vidste hvorfor man observerede, eller hvad man observerede. Først starede jeg med at observerer en pige der stod og delte kaffe ud, men hun havde ikke helt så travlt som selvbetjeningskasserne – så jeg endte med at observerer kasse nr. 13 og hvilke aktive handlinger der skete derigennem. Det første minut var lidt forvirrende, hvad man skulle skrive ned, lægge mærke til eller observere. Jeg observerede hvad jeg umiddelbart lagde mærke til, af alle små detaljer jeg kunne nå at få ned på papir. Det svære var at bestemme sig for hvad man egentlig ville observere. Efter man havde bestemt sig, og egentlig bare var gået i gang og skrev, så var den lette del jo bare at observere.

Næste gang kunne man observere virkelig menneskers interaktion med en kassedame, i stedet for en selvbetjeningskasse. Altså en maskine som voldede lidt problemer og var langsom.
