From the Paper:

"This essay represents the culmination of a brief, and admittedly unscientific, survey of a number of friends and acquaintances on the topic of media semiotics with specific reference to television and other social texts of comparative influence. This brief survey was combined with my own record of my interaction with a range of media over the course of a week. As with the survey this record was admittedly unscientific and biased as it reflected a period of time when I was focused on academic work and, as such, my usage of media was not representative of my general media usage."
