After the first couple weeks enrolled in this class I knew my perspective about a lot of things would drastically alter after listening to discussions presented by both my classmates and professor each class
I knew my outlook on the Internet, the television and really any other media-orientated technology would dramatically change from what it was
I LOVE television. I LOVE going on the computer. I LOVE using my phone. THIS CLASS HAS TOTALLY ALTERED MY LOVE FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE THINGS!
After reading Postman's book I completely changed my outlook on television. Every time I would go to my friends house I would tell them to turn the t.v. off (weird?) They would look at me and ask "what has gotten into you!" It was a whole new me and I kinda like it!
The ability for people to have conversations and to pay attention to one another without get bored in 5 seconds has deteriorated. I don't want to be put into that category! I want to be able to have conversations, hang out without any distractions in the background and just talk. Society today needs to re-check themselves and realize that life is to short to be distracted all the time. Live in the moment, don't let the television live for you!

who ever said wearing white after labor day was such a crime? I for sure do not think so.
have you ever wondered why there are so many rules, even when it comes down to fashion!! I get rules in math or when opening up your own business, but common, rules for dressing? i say fuck those rules, wear what you want!
in my first post when I discussed how media dictates what is socially acceptable to wear and what is not, I did mean that. I definitely believe that media presents the public with certain ideas of what is right and what is wrong. The web, television, magazines are all different forms of technology dictating to people what they should wear. Wearing white after labor day is socially unacceptable! I say psh, who cares! WEAR WHAT YOU WANT!
Because people are so dependent on others for ideas I guess rules are needed most of the time? people can not make up their own mind and need to turn to someone or something.
The internet
Perez Hilton
Lindsay Lohan
People Magazine
What's next?
