Jaypee Habaradas — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 07:21:18 +0000

This past weekend was a relaxed one. Not too many activities but still had fun spending time with family and friends. Attended one of our friend’s kid’s birthday party and played some NBA 2K9 with friends after the program. Time flies so fast. The weekend is over and its another new week of school, work and other activities and responsibilities. I had a good weekend and I hope everyone else did too. It’s time once again for another edition of the Weekend Roundup and I hope that you guys like, learn something or find these links and articles useful. Enjoy!

How Balanced Is Your Media Diet?

Jaypee Habaradas — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 00:41:06 +0000

For our personal health, it is important to have a balanced diet so that we get all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals that we need in order to keep our bodies healthy. In order to help people have a better understanding and achieve a more balanced diet, the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) published the Improved American Food Guide Pyramid, which suggests the optimal nutrition guidelines for each food category.

Recently, WIRED Magazine released their own guide pyramid but not for food groups or categories but instead a guide on how we can achieve a balanced media diet.

Practicing good nutrition keeps your mind sharp, your body fit, and your life long. The same could be said for consuming media. (Seriously, knowledge is power.) When you add it all up, the average American spends roughly nine hours a day glued to some kind of screen, and like your diet, quality is as important as quantity. Here are Wired’s suggested servings for optimal media health.

Based on the percentages showed in the pyramid, I can say that my media diet is quite balanced although I spend more than 9 hours a day. Btw, I think this media diet pyramid would look neat in a tshirt.

How about you guys? Do you have a balanced media diet? If not, what areas are you lacking at or not consuming?
