About the Class

Since we're studying the topic of Media at the moment, and seeing how much it affects all of our lives, I have decided to perform an experiment:

Can I Survive for 7 Days without the Media?

That means: no radio, no TV, no newspapers, no magazines, no internet, and indeed no "updates" of any kind for a whole week! From Saturday 28th August at 4 pm to Saturday 4th September at 4 pm I will be trying my level best to avoid the media cloud. Can it be done? Is it impossible? Maybe it's something that you could do easily? Join me for this special fun lesson as I report back on the results and tell you what happened!

P.S. Feel free to do this experiment with me and let us know how it goes!

All lessons on the topic of Media were great. Easy to follow and understand also for beginners. Very interesting. I highly recommend it. Watch and be prepared to re-think some things! Thanks Matt for all your work on those lessons. Six stars.
