Media influences me a lot on a day to day basis. In the modern day and age it would be difficult to get away from computers, phones, televisions, and other electronics. A type of media that is pretty addictive nowadays is the television. A lot of people watch it probably just for entertainment. Not all TV is necessarily negative because some of it can be educational. By far the most popular gadget out there is the computer. No one can go around without seeing it being used at the cafe or the library. Overall I think that the computer is positive because it is like the television, the phone, and Wal-Mart all rolled into one. Telephones can be useful, but mostly I think that they are used for entertainment. Technology is commonplace almost everywhere, and I think that it can make life easier when it comes to studying or socializing. However, there is a negative aspect to always using technology because it can make people rely on their gadgets and stop using other sources of information. Books and face-to-face interaction no longer seem as prevalent as they used to be. The reason why I made this post was to show that technology plays a big role in people's lives, and that it can be close to impossible to avoid.
I really liked your approach to showing the media/technology you use throughout the day and at home. It's so true, probably the only way to avoid technology is that mythical island out in the middle of nowhere.
