Growing up, my generation media has mainly been based off of television, internet, movies, and magazines. The media itself has evolved. I now no longer need to actually buy a newspaper to see what is going on in the world. I am constantly spending my day checking my blackberry which has my email, facebook, twitter, and my texts. Since the media has evolved so much I literally rely on the internet for information. With sites like Twitter and Facebook I am instantly updated on current pop culture news without having to witness it on TV.
With music, I don't listen to the radio as much as I used to and now being able to download music I haven't purchased CD's or songs on Itunes in years. I personally find it to be more convenient to download music and upload it to my iPod than to have to go and buy CD's morally I understand it's stealing, but with the internet advancing and opening doors for people it's kind of hard to think people won't do it.
I hate that I rely on my blackberry twenty four seven, but at the same time I like having everything I need in my hand. The internet and TV has made it seem that you need to be up to date with everything going around socially. Growing up I didn't care about going online so much as to watching my favorite cartoons or going outside. I feel like the way society is going with the media that future kids will feel no need to go outside because priority will be the internet and the television, leaving books no where to be found.
I would like to find myself working as a public relations or a journalist. I am so interested with what goes on with today's pop cultural that I could see myself writing for a trendy magazine or even a TV caster for a pop culture show.
