Denice King WhyILoveMyMedia

I love my media like a fat kid loves his cake. My phone is a huge part of my life, which I never thought would happen. It is what I’m on when I’m bored, how I meet up with all my friends and family, my life line to social networking, lets just say it is basically my life. I’ve left it at a friend’s house not to long ago and I thought it was never coming back. I was cut off from the media world and had basically no way to get in touch with my friend. I knew exactly how the fat kid felt when he didn’t get his cake. I’m just glad for laptops because I eventually used Facebook to communicate and get my phone back. Basically I love my media because it is my life line to the rest of the media world.

Rachel Lyon- why i love my media

media is so broad and such a vast number of different aspects of my generations life along with everyone else now a days, because if it’s not, you get left behind. for me, i use my media to stay in touch with others. as everyone seems to be running around and being involved in numerous activities (because it’ll look good on your resume) there isn’t much time to actually see people unless they are in those activities with you. so, while going from one meeting to the next you take your media device, connect with those who you miss, have something to say to, or are making plans for later. always on a mission and always doing something is how i would describe my life. when i use my media, though, i can do two or more things at once. i can do my work and connect with my friends or family who aren’t necessarily with me, physically.

growing up i went to summer camp and through that i made a lot of friends who didn’t live anywhere near me. in order to stay connected with them i use my phone to call/text/bbm/mms/tweet/fb etc… with. somehow, after 3 years of not seeing some of my camp friends im still very close with them, thanks to media devices.

overall, i love my media because it makes it possible for me to stay connected with those whom i care about but can’t necessarily spend time with whether its because my schedule is too busy on any given day, or because they live miles from me. i absolutely LOVE my media!

I love my media because it keeps me from being bored.  I always have to be active in something or else I’ll fall asleep or let my mind wander.  Therefore I love media in the sense that i can always play angry birds or peruse stumbleupon when I have nothing else to do.  I also like to search through blogs and other postings from my friends in my down time. I heart my media because it enables me to kill time.

Ben Kane Why I Heart My Media

I love media because it allows me to interact with my family and friends quickly and effectively.  I have lost my phone in the past and I have been very distressed because of it.  It is a big part of my life.  I use my laptop every single day.  It makes school work easier and a lot of my hobbies are based from computers, namely, music.  I can get information about new artists, albums, collaborations, and I can download new music almost instantly.  Media is a huge part of my generation’s culture and without it, I feel that we would be very lost.

Me and my Media, Lauren Math

I love media because it keeps us connected with people.  Through phones and computers we are able to talk to people in different cities, states, even countries.  We are able to see people in real time without actually being face to face.  We are also able to receive important news through applications, and texts.  For example IU sends messages if there is bad weather, or any emergencies.  Without media we would not be warned of dangerous weather early enough to protect ourselves.  I was working at a store over this summer and someone told us a bad storm was coming.  I pulled out my iphone and looked at where the storm was compared to our store location.  We then knew when people would most likely be here and when the storm would wipe away our customers and possibly our power.  Giving us time to prepare for the storm.

One reason why I heart media is because of how extremely simple it is to watch Fighting Gravity blow my mind.  Fighting Gravity is a performance group that got their start on America’s Got Talent in 2010.  They combine music, dance, blacklights, and mind-bending idea’s to make it seem as if they’re defying gravity during a performance.  Media is the reason Fighting Gravity exists and also the reason they were discovered.  Media in the form of television gave them an opportunity to be broadcasted to a nationwide audience.  Media in the form of music and performance gave them a foundation.  I heart media because it has invtroduced me to some of my favorite YouTube videos to watch, and it is extremely easy to get on the internet and have my mind blown by Fighting Gravity.
