I bet you are "consuming" different media in different ways now.

I don't much like the notion of "consumption" - so oral and infantile. And consuming media?!  But leaving that aside, it's interesting to see how it's changing.

Last night my mate Rob (b. 1956) said he's on his first week for 20 years without having The Guardian delivered. He found there was too much unread paper piling up. He now reads it on his iPad, but he'll still get the Saturday edition.

Myself, I haven't bought newspapers more than occasionally since the early 1990s, even though I started working life as a news hound. These days I regularly scan the headlines of the Guardian and the New York Times because they have apps for the iPhone and good writing.

I've had paper editions of the Economist and Wired since 1996, and until I got the iPhone I used to read them cover to cover. Now, I find back issues piling up.

I've never been big on TV. For a couple of months in early 2009, when I was feeling at a real low, I watched maybe 2--3 hours in the evening, along with a slug of Jack Daniels. These days, it's maximum one hour in the late evening, usually something I've recorded on the Sky box - Lie to Me, Wallander or a comedy show.

We have DVDs and I occasionally buy new ones, but I never watch them.

We don't have a radio except in the car, but I do now listen to the Today Programme on my iPod radio while I'm doing my physical jerks. For the rest, I get my radio in podcasts, of which I have around 1,000 now.

So looking just at my own media consumption behaviour, the big trends are 1) away from paper to screen, 2) time-shifting of broadcast content and 3) impact of the iPhone as a one-stop media resource for live radio, podcast radio and written content.
