Assignment one

I believe that the media is pretty important in my life. Everytime I walk somewhere I always have my Ipod playing my favourite tunes. When ever I have free time I'm either watching one of my favourite shows or playing some videogames. I think that without sources of media I would die of boredom.

Movies have to be the most important source of media to me. I go to the movies on a weekly basis, it's almost like an addiction. It's not even the type of movie that matters. I'll give a ny movie a chance. Take The Lovely Bones for example. Girlfriend wanted to see it, so we went and, though it was a terrible movie, I gave it a fair chance. I guess the next best source of media to me would be my Ipod. I really don't like walking in silence so, the Ipod solves that issue.

When it comes to pop culture, I love the technology but, I absolutely hate everything else about it. I love tyhe Ipod touch, it's a great invention. I also love the new smart phones, it's like having a small computer in your pocket. I hate all the new popular celebrities, they're all ridiculous. don't even get me started on the cast of jersey shore. I personally use media for watching my favourite tv shows, the newest movies and using the internet for facebook and hotmail. I think nowadays media is mainly used for commercialism and entertainment. some people use it for other reasons like online shopping or the news but, i bet if u took a survey you would find that most would say for entertainment values.

If i was on a deserted island, the 3 types of media I'd choose are television, movies and videogames. for my tv show, I would choose Family Guy because no matter how many times I've seen any of the episodes they're always funny to me. My movie of choice would be Independance day because not only is it a long movie but, it's also amazing. My videogame of choice would be The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It's a great game and it takes a bit of time to beat.
