Over the past week, I've learned that the media is a pretty big part of my life. The pervasiveness of the media is really shocking to me. It's everywhere, in my house, at work, at the bar, and even in my pocket. Pretty soon it's just going to be directly connected to my brain! Information is so instantaneous that I'm shocked when I bring up a current event and the person I talk to has no idea what I'm talking about. I guess some people just choose to tune out and that's fine.
Over the past week I've watched the media on TV, listened to the radio and glued myself to the internet. I'd say I watch TV a lot but I use the internet the most. It's just so convenient. You can go anywhere and use it how you want to use it. I think that's the beauty of that medium to me. I guess for media to remain relevant, it seems to me that accessibility is key. If you have access you have knowledge.
