YUJIA ZHANG- I HEART MY MEDIA!!!!

Living in the media world, it makes me feel connected with people even if I am not with them. Cell phone and computer became two things that I cannot live without with. Every morning I would be waken up by my alarm clock on my iPhone and then turn on my laptop to check any new E-mails, facebook news and etc. When I started my university life, I began to realize that my need for media became even stronger than before. The use of my phone allows me to find my friends at anytime at anywhere. Looking through different web blogs and social networks allows me to get any update of my friend’s life no matter where they are. Media literally connects me with the people around, that even I am not physically with them but I can still learn everything about my friends through Facebook, MSN, text message, and so on. I cannot image one day I wake up without having my phone next to me or my laptop, that would make my life miserable. Without them, I cannot check my homework, I cannot use Google Map to find my classroom and moreover I will detached from the world. Therefore I heart my media because it makes me feel connected, and involved. I cannot live without it.
