Profile of a Consumer

	Hours/Week	Most Time to Least Time	Favorite to Least Favorite	Attraction
Television	6-8 hours/week	3	5	America’s Next Top Model, The X Factor, The Voice, America’s Best Dance Crew, Friends, The Office, etc. I mostly watch reality shows and comedies to relax, I suppose.
Video	1-2 hours/week	7	7	One Direction videos…
Movies	4-6 hours/week	4	4	They’re a good way to relax after a lot of homework, or they’re a solid entertainment option for hanging out with friends.
Radio	0-2 hours/week	9	9	Entertainment when I’m driving.
CD’s	2-4 hours/week	6	6	Entertainment when I’m driving.
Newspapers	0 hours/week	10	10	I’ll skim the paper at breakfast, but I mostly just look at pictures.
Magazines	0-1 hour/week	8	8	Looking at what celebrities are wearing to events is my guilty pleasure.
Comics	0 hour/week	12	12	I don’t read comics- but if I did, it would be Batman. He is my attraction.
Books	2-4 hours/week	5	3	I love reading books, because it’s easier to find true-story novels than on any other media, and biographies are my favorite.
IPhone	12-14 hours/week	1	1	My iPhone has Facebook, Instagram, twitter, GPS, texting, Google, the Dictionary… Why wouldn’t I be attracted to it?
Laptop	12-14 hours/week	2	2	I use the internet to find recipes for when I cook, I blog on it, and I watch movies/television on it. It attracts me for many reasons.
Video Games	0 hours/week	11	11	I am not attracted to video games in the least. I don’t even have games on my iPhone.

 

I find that I use multiple medias each for information and my personal entertainment- but definitely more for entertainment purposes. The internet, for example, I use to research information for school, to blog for school, and to watch YouTube videos for school. However, most often, I use the internet to skim Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest- although, in all fairness, I use Pinterest to find recipes and DIY crafts, so that’s really a combination of information and entertainment. I find that, for the sites I use, anyways, information is very accurate and helpful in my everyday life.  As long as you steer clear of sites like Answers.com or any other site that allows viewers to post information (besides, of course, Pinterest), the information should be legitimate and useful.
