Media has always been a big part of my life. Some of my earliest memories are of visiting my dad at work in the editing room of A&E or playing Duck Hunt on NES. These days my life is even more media packed. It seems I'm always operating some sort of gadget or gizmo, whether it be reading my English homework on my nook or uploading my new blog post via the Internet. Technology has come a long way from my VHS tape filled childhood. Now I can watch movies on my TV, my computer or my ipod, and never have to worry about the tracking. I use media for a variety of purposes. When I’ve had a bad day I can turn on the TV and find a comedy to cheer me up, and when I need to know the historical background of a novel for a paper I can quickly search it on the Internet. When I’m getting ready in the morning I can check various instruments for an accurate weather report. Media is everywhere enabling me to function in my daily life. Even much of my social interaction is performed through media devices such as instant messengers on my computer and Facebook wall posts. Personally I think it might be easier to point out the areas and situations in which I am not using or dealing with media as opposed to explaining when and where I do use media.
