Back to being serious. Media affects each and every person differently. Some of us may love sound and the musical form of media but others may prefer the silent process of drawing a picture. Regardless of what form one may prefer, all forms of media help provide us with some level of fun and entertainment. The different forms allow us to take a momentary leave from the stressful thing we all call "life."
For me, I interact with the film, electronic, sound, literature, and food forms of media on a daily basis. I am a big lover of movies and television, as I'm sure you can all tell by my numerous references to House of Cards in class.
Food makes me happy and keeps me alive so yeah... Music keeps me sane and reading allows me to use my imagination and enter worlds and lives I'd not ordinarily be able to experience.
I do not interact with the drawing or painting forms of media as much as I would like. I'm not as cultured as some individuals but it is something I am trying to work on.
I'm a pretty big supporter and fan of social media. I am on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat. I feel as if all of these forms help me keep in contact with my friends who I no longer see on a daily basis. By seeing pictures of their lives or seeing posts regarding their accomplishments, it makes me feel as if I'm not so far away and that can be an extremely comforting feeling. Social media also helps everyone meet new people and network to an extent and, lets be honest, networking is huge these days.
All of these forms of media help me in some way become a better person. By eating, I'm keeping myself alive. By reading, I'm furthering my knowledge. By watching movies, I'm realizing mistakes that some characters make and how I can avoid them in real life. Music keeps my brain working and social media helps me keep all of my friendships current and up to date.
Without media, I'd be lost.
