When brainstorming topics for the English 103 Multimedia Project, it was hard to focus and come up with possible ideas for the project because of all the social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc) up on our computer screens. After contemplating possible ideas, we came to the decision that we were the prime examples of what our project should be about - Media Distractions for College Students. This includes a wide variety of distractions, such as cell phones and the numerous social networking sites.
Our goal in this project is to make college students more aware of the time they actually spend using these websites instead of being productive with schoolwork. This is especially a serious issue in college campuses because students seem to spend half of their time in class or in the library, distracted.
We are using several different techniques to explain the issue at hand. We have incorporated a survey, numerous pictures, and a short time lapse video that give clearer meaning to our topic. Of course we all love these sites and staying in touch with our friends, but we need to learn where to draw the line.
Feel free to comment on any of these and tell us how you feel about the issue!
