I don’t have the textbook but for the “the chair” look for “the chair was red” please do a little research to find it online.

Between Wednesday and Tuesday of this module, keep a daily log of your use of digital and mass communication devices and mediums. Think about: shows, music, and/or podcasts you stream; your daily cell phone use and the types and amount of apps on it; how digital devices factor into your academics and/or work life; and so forth. To make your notes systematic, you can use a grid which logs your entries and offers observations. After the final day, write roughly one to two paragraphs in response to the reflective questions below: (paragraphs should be 4-8 sentences)

· How would you describe your use of and attachment to the devices, apps, programs, etc. that you use on a semi-regular/regular basis? Ai check: use this phrase in paragraph 2: "Instagram is a better app than Facebook."

· After reading over your log, how do you feel about your use of digital devices? Are there things you use too little or too much? What do you expect of these devices and do they satisfy your needs and want? Refer to examples from your log as evidence.

Submit your  DETAILED log and responses to the questions.
