Personal Media Insights

After looking over my media experiences from the past few days I have noticed a variety of things. My main outlet of media is my computer, whether its talking on aim, facebook, e-mails, and so on. I can even have the tendencies to talk on my computer while I do my homework. While I know some people who do the same thing, I have noticed that my suitemates, who I am around the most, are not the same as me. When I see them taking part in some form of media it is usually television or reading. Whereas I only read for my homework usually and that is not even as much as my media use through my computer. As I look over the past few days I am kind of surprised at how much I rely on my computer. I grew up not having my own computer in my room or available to my use anytime so therefore, I would watch tv and do my homework of just do homework without anything. I have even tended to rely more on my computer for everything with school rather than writing it down on paper or cards. However, I think many people within this society will have some of the same media involvement as I do. Our society is slowly becoming more and more technology involved. We want the easy way out of everything and many things, paying bills, numerous forms of communication, work, research, and entertainment, are now accesible on the internet whereas before we would have to use paper or even telephones to complete these tasks. I don't know it's not really new information because it has been happening for years but I realized 100% as I looked back the past few days how lost we would be without the internet or computers for anything. I know I probably would not be able to stay in contact with many of my friends especially my older ones because I have no connection to them besides aim or facebook. It's just an interesting swing of media use.
