My Relationship With Media
Originally, I believed that a lot of this assignment wouldn't apply to me, but apparently not. I don't use Instagram or Snapchat, so I don't have anywhere near the amount of exposure as most of my peers do. However, there was one key detail I that just kind of flew right past my head when we were assigned this: that pretty much everything we see that is used to show us as consumers something is media. Media has had a large impact on my world view. The platform I use the most is Youtube, and through this I have experienced ideas from all over the world on franchises I like and on world events. I have also been exposed to other foreign forms of media, such as anime/manga, which is what typically fills my weekends when I'm not running for track or hanging out with friends. These platforms and more and expanded my world view and have positive and negative effects on my life. Unlike many, I don't use Instagram or Snapchat. The only platform I use every day is Youtube
