Blog post 1. - Media profile.

1. I believe that media is moderately important in my life. I never payed much attention to media as a kid or even in the present. although i do not have much care about media, i do believe it is important in everyone's life because it keeps us all in touch with the open world.

2.What types of media do you feel most passionate about or are most important to you?
  -Music: I believe that music is something very important because its in everyone everyday life from listening it to the radio in a car to hearing it in commercials or tuning into your "ipod" or phone.
  -Internet: Internet is important to most lives and is spreading rapidly around the world. It is important because our generation of kids is using it to create social lives and to, lets say play video games to express what person they are to others around the world.
  -ADS: You would normally see ADS on you tube videos or some dirty webpages with plenty of viruses. Butt they have a big impact because some ADS you are forced to watch or for most people just open a new tab or walk away from the computer to avoid it. They're like the Internets skip-able commercials.

3.What are your thoughts on our modern pop culture?
Well pop culture has effected all of us in a way. Some are transformed by it, Some see there kids or grand kids get effected by it. And some of the transformations are bad and some are good. Some people just avoid it. There's always those typical groups of people that can not stop talking about whats hot on "Snapchat" or "vine" and all these different sources of media. Some media is effecting our population to become more immature which is never a good thing. I do love the new technology and how we can communicate in different ways, but not how people are using it. for example; Cyber bullying, its not much of a big deal anymore, like come on i think the era of bully's is over. Bully's have been kicked out, now it's just the nerds and the "popular". Now everything on the internet is either funny or just doesn't make sense. I use media mostly for enjoying myself by playing video games with friends and sometimes by myself and even entertain myself by watching some YouTube videos. I do not like the element of pop culture that makes everyone on your level immature so you have to be the one to deal with it. For example my sister (Savannah). She used to be fun a playful and now she met a couple of "new friends" and all of a sudden she thinks shes the most popular person in high school.

4. Pick a form of media you feel most passionate about.
Personally, i picked music because its been there longer than TV, Internet. When i was a kid and lived with my dad we moved a lot, So we often used the radio, which was often on a rock station. Rock has always been a huge impact on me because its pretty much been my memory. Its the thing that's been there for me and supported me in a way. AC-DC was my favorite band when i was a child because they always had that wacky side
