Rafe: I love the fact that humans have always sought a way to communicate beyond there own existent life span. In this we get a sense that all want to be educators... rationale... The storyteller: writes (all forms, poems, odes, sonnets, prose, lyrics...), the singer: sings, the composer: composes, the painter: paints ... for what?? to educate the consumer on what an emotion looks like, feels like, and sounds like. I love that media has the ability to evoke an emotional response we didn't know we were going to experience.
Corey: Ever feel like you've invested two hours of your life and soul to a movie, only to have an ending so terribly bad that you kind of feel like Mike Tyson punched you in the stomach and bit off your ear, then informed you that he no longer loved you and was moving out? That.
Jaime: I once listened to one of my favorite tv shows on radio. It was a neat experience because I felt that I was using a sense that often gets ignored. I was able to use my own imagination to build the scene.
Jessica: I dislike feeling "addicted" to social media at times. I feel like it takes up too much time. I also dislike trying to work around copyright laws and respect them (which is important to do as a role model for students). I would not have thought of that aspect offhand, I got inspiration from the others here who posted about copyright.
Option #1:
Digital Media is my favorite of all of the types of media. It is quick to respond and can help people do things that would take months to do in minutes. After reading a lot of the comments on this topics I noticed that there is a fair bit of dislike for the amount of time it consumes in our daily lives. I do agree that some things do take a while to complete, but this is more about how people feel like we are all addicted to digital media. If it is an addiction why can't one simply break the habit like any other type of addiction? It is similar to that of a drug addict complaining that they want to stop, but just simply need it so they cannot. The types of digital media that people are addicted to are not the kind that might be necessary and are they not in their own way informative? It just hurts me to see people reacting to digital media as if it is a drug forced on them they can't escape. Maybe this comes from my intense love for digital media and I see none of it a real waste of time. I am more cultured and aware of current events because of these "addictions". The only part I hate about digital media is that big companies can start to ruin it for everyone, but that happens in everything. Also, the amount of time it takes to do some tasks is a tad annoying, but with newer technology it will become less of a problem and is really not much a problem now, just an annoyance.
