YouTube rabbit hole

What I love about media isn’t the fact that we can show our social status or that we can maintain our social contacts. We can do that in real life. But what I do love is falling into a rabbit hole when you are browsing on YouTube. Ever been on YouTube with the thought of only watching one video because it went viral and ending up a few hours later at an oysteropening video? Well, I did… “But the pearls are so pretty!” The variaty of videos that you will come across in a few hours is incredible and you’ll probably learn something too! So please jump in this rabbit hole and fall away, while I get back to a DIY curling without heat video.

Media Love:

I love media because we can interact with many people in the world and share together our information. With this, we can make new friendships and live the life that we are living now. Many people love it to post their stuff that they find in internet, pictures that they make, videos, etc. Here we can see that people is happy to share their interest publicly in their social media. In the present days, media is all around the world and we can see it everyday in every corner. Thats why I love media.

Media Love

These days, I can’t go through the day without catching a glimp of media. When I wake up, the first thing I do is check my phone to see if I got any messages, E-mails or other notifications from my social media accounts. And at the end of the day, most of the time I find myself in bed, watching Netflix or search for music on Spotify. Basically I wake up and go to sleep with it, but why is media so important to me these days?

Media is for me important to not only keep in touch with my friends and family, it also gives me acces to wide my network and knowledge. For example, last summer I traveled in Thailand for a month, over there I met so many new people from all over the world. Media provides me to keep in touch with them, through social media I planned my next trip with a few people I met during my holiday. It’s great that there is a way to stay connected with the world through shared messages, pictures or stories.

I heart media because I basically can’t live without it anymore, that why it’s so important to me. Through media I can stay connected with friends, manage my business and school stuff and it keeps me updated from news all over the world.

I heart my media because my media hearts me back. There are so many chances that your work will get recognised through them and get the attention it deserves. Young artists, models, activists, stylists, fashion bloggers, writers etc usually do not have the connections and the money for this. So through media and more specifically social media they can get the help they need in order to connect with the people they need and reach the level they want. Eirini Loukopoulou

Meme love

doogeI heart my media, because I heart memes…

You might think that´s a lame answer, but hear me out. Memes are the perfect example of how media can connect people, bring them closer together and can facilitate for deeper meaning in relationships between people. For example; I experience the constant tagging of my friends in memes and being tagged in memes by them as a way of bonding. The fact that your friends think of you when seeing an apparently representative meme, creates a feeling of belonging and meaningful friendship. Memes are a fun way of showing your friends that you really know them, since it takes knowing someone well before you can tag them in the really good memes.

Memes are also fantastic, because they show how media can bring out the most creative side of people for the better. Political memes for example can be extremely funny, yet conveying a serious message at the same time. Serious political issues can be given a funny and creative twist by making memes out of them. Since memes are very easy to understand and are spread easily and fast on social media, the political message contained in them reaches a large audience. The fact that they are so easy to understand and spread also makes for the fact that everyone can use memes to spread a message, making them pretty important in the spreading of ideas online.

Therefore, I love media and I love memes. I love how memes make me laugh, but also how they make me think about the world and feel about my relationship to other people.

My favourite meme? Doge. Why? Because reasons. Because much wow.

WHY I HEART MEDIA

The reason ‘Why I Heart Media’ is simply because of the accessibility of it. For instance, media has everything. Media has an immeasurable amount of information such as books and films. Social media (e.g. Facebook,Twitter) itself has become a source of news for the younger generation, as people are able to spread awareness by sharing images or videos and keep up to date with certain conflicts which mainstream newspapers or news channels choose not to present. Furthermore, due to media there is an increase of people who are able to teach themselves new skills by just watching a YouTube video. Lastly, it is because I am able to stay in contact with my friends and family who live further away. ba50da5ae670f88d4bde06dd15156c62
