media

In today’s world we are surrounded by media everywhere we go. Media has made life easy for some, complicated for other, and yet distracting for others as well. Media can reach back to the stone ages when cave men used to draw pictures on the caves, and in today’s digital world we see those images in a different medium. The biggest contributor to media in my opinion is the television and radio. Due to the invention of television and radio, there began a media boom, a new era of media no one would imagine how it was going to affect our everyday lives. For the first time we could get entertained by sitting on our sofa, rather than going to a Broadway show or a football game. We have now taken media for granted in our everyday life, because we have made an emotional connection with it. For instance if we are bored, lonely or sad, we can simply watch a funny movie, and listen to some music which will make us feel better. Media has made everything on the go, now everything can be done from the palm of a hand, such as you can control your whole business from your blackberry. Media also gives us good source of information, ideas, creativity, inspiration, and most of all it keep everyone connected to each other. My definition for media in today’s world would be, “everything is one click away”, meaning you want to watch a show you just click your remote and watch it, or if you want to read the news you simply go online and click Cnn and you are there.
