How today's 'Global Village' affects my personal 'Distraction Factory'

I've been given an assignment where I had to keep track of how much time I spend on media and technological means of communication. The cultural critic Goodwin calls the global media entertainment industry the 'Distraction Factory'. I thought that this name couldn't have been more appropriate. It actually doesn't signify the 'use' or 'purpose' of the media itself, but 'how' the modern mediated world is actually influencing people's lives, perspectives and habits.
The asignment required me to break it down, basically, into music, television, reading, internet/socializing, and interactive media (like video games).
Interestinlgy enough, but this was not a big surprise, you can easily spot that the time given to what was once considered as the main and most important thing to do to keep your brain trained and elastic, that is 'reading', has been reduced, in my case of course, to a ridiculous weekly time amount of approximately 3 hrs.
In this regard I have to say that, when I personally (and finally) get some sort of break from my frenetic life of student and worker, the only think I ALWAYS carry with me (being in holiday or just around), is a book, one of those that I finally get the chance to read after I bought it maybe 2 or 3 years earlier!
Scaring? Depressing? Wrong?
For sure we compensate by reading while surfing on the web... the experience that only the paper can give is definitely not the same, but the purpose of keeping your brain working is 'somehow' achieved.
I spotted another interesting thing looking at my data: time dedicated to movies/DVDs is a drastic zero. I concluded that, when it comes to the decision of how to spend my spare time, I always decide for the social communications instead of relaxing and spending my time in front of... ANOTHER screen! At least, on the other side, there's someone else interacting with me.
It's time now to show my weekly media usage. I decided to create and display the results on a chart in order to make it easier for comparisons and relationships.
