Why I love Media? Media is my life. I would not live without Media. It would be impossible to wake up on time in the morning, go somewhere without getting lost or simply stay social. You want to go out so you text your friend or check the events list on Facebook. Media is my …

Why I Heart My Media
For me, Media is a part of my life, I interact with it every single day, ranging from youtube to facebook to video gaming altogether. Media to me is a combination of the devices themselves to the infinitely stretching entity that we know as the media. It is a tool to help us unite with one …
Why I Heart My Media
I tried to choose one of the components in the taxonomy definitions of media: media as artefacts, activities and social arrangements. However, the definitions seem intertwined in such a way that I cannot choose one, neglecting the other (or I can blame on the zodiac: I’m a Libra). My media provide me abilities, possibilities, they …
You’re probably wondering what on earth a picture of a girl with a plant has to do with Why I Heart My Media. To be entirely honest, I was just scrolling through the old media of the chat between me and my little sister and this picture made me laugh a little harder than it probably should have because of its relevance to this assignment. To give you a little bit of a backstory; I set out to buy a goldfish one day because I was very lonely in my flat in Germany and my little sister (who I always FaceTime when I’m feeling lonely) was at school back in Mallorca, where I grew up and she still lives with our parents. Because Germany has very strict rues and regulations regarding the safekeeping of fish, I wasn’t allowed to buy one (who knew a filterless bowl on my dining table wasn’t a good enough home for a fish). So, instead, I decided to buy a plant (who was probably as entertaining as a goldfish would have been). By the time my new plant and I were on our way home, my sister had her lunch break and, although we couldn’t FaceTime, I was able to share this momentous experience with her thanks (once again) to our media devices. Only last week she found a cockroach in the house and FaceTimed me asking me (who was miles away in Amsterdam) what to do. It reminded me of that time I boarded the wrong train and called my mom in tears in need of help although, again, she was miles away in Mallorca. My point is that media isn’t just a communicative device – it’s much more than that. It connects us, informs us, inspires us, guides us and unifies us in a way that would otherwise be impossible. Media allowed me to see my sister seconds after she was born, it reassured me that my older sister was safe after the terror attack in Barcelona, it helped me cure my first flu away from home, it helped me get to university this morning, and entertained me whilst I waited for the bus and the train and my friend and my pizza delivery. To me, media is not only crucial to my survival in Amsterdam away from my beloved family, but it’s also integrated into my life in so many ways that I couldn’t imagine a world without it anymore.

Why I Heart My Books
Media creates opportunities; it can give us the chance to shape things the way we like them to be, it can give us ways to be seen and heard, but to me, most importantly, media can provide an escape. I’d say an escape from reality but then the discussion might arise of what reality truly …
Why I heart my media
The main reason I love media is the fact that it opens up the world to us. We have the whole world inside our pockets. Back in the day, when smartphones weren’t invented jet, we’d have to save all the information we needed in our heads. For example, if we wanted to travel by train, …
