Why I love media

Media allows us to engage in the world and further connect and unite us through its connectivity.

Despite the development of smart phones and the internet, if there is no media at all, it is like being marooned and stranded on a desert island.

We reside in various forms of media, and we are always influenced and surrounded by media. 

Sometimes it is an emancipatory tool to express ourselves, vocalize ourselves, represent ourselves, free ourselves, and strengthen ourselves. 

We are shaped by media and thus, we are an artefact of media because we live our lives conforming to what is shown on media. Therefore, media takes a huge part of my life and I cannot even imagine a life without media 

In short, media is part of our lives and I love media because I love my life.
