Can I Go a Day Without Media?

Can I actually go a day without media? In the beginning, I thought "Yes! Of course I have the self control to sustain a whole day without my phone." But then I realized media is much more than what my phone has to offer. Media is the means of communication, like the radio, television, Internet (of course), magazines, and even newspapers. Being in the 21st century, avoiding media just might be an impossible task.

I am definitely guilty of being addicted to media, or more specifically, my phone. It is the first and last thing I contact before I go to bed. I use it to play games, as a communication tool with my friends and family, and a gateway to the crazy world I call social media. There is always something interesting to see on Youtube. I can start off with watching a music video, and somehow wind up on a video on how to make cat pancake art three hours later. My phone is the main fuel to my procrastination. It is the reason why I have the ability to turn a thirty minute assignment into a three-hour task. Every day I start my homework telling myself I need to stay off my phone until I am at least halfway done. But DING! goes the iMessage ringtone and before you know it, I'm on my phone for a good hour or two.

Whether I'm texting, Snapchatting, on Instagram, or Twitter, I'm always on my phone. Sometimes, just to not look alone, I even find myself making up an excuse so I can check my phone. Or another situation is when I'm bored so I repeatedly check my phone for new notifications when I literally checked it less than a minute ago.
However, there is a line that I won't allow myself to cross: using my phone during dinner. Media has been blended within our daily lives so much so people barely even communicate. I just recently attended a dinner party and throughout the entire dinner all that most of the people did was take silly pictures with the new Snapchat filters and send it to other people. There was no real conversation going on, the only interaction was between those with the phone and the individuals who received the silly pictures. Meanwhile, the party host, two other people, and I had our own conversation at the opposite end of the table.

Is this really the way to go about? Social media has already developed such a negative connotation in people's minds and being obsessed with your phone to the extent of which human interaction is being deprived of, is sure not helping the situation.
Media has been categorized into social media ONLY. No one realizes that any means of communication that reach people widely are also considered as media. Throughout my entire day, there is media everywhere around me. The radio is always on when I get in the car, the newspaper is still delivered to my door every Sunday, and my parents constantly have the news playing on TV. Even if I don't intentionally contact media, like my phone, I am still indirectly associated with it since it somehow manages to always be in the background of my life.
Now, going back to my question, no, I really do not think I can go a day without encountering media.
