What Is the Purpose Of Media?
I find that, the purpose of media, is to inform me of what is happening but to also keep me calm and assured I am safe. I find that the media cuts the news down when it is first introduced to the audience but when the story is done and over with you find out all the missing details that would have gotten your heart racing before. I am not saying this is a bad thing of the broadcasters to do, because in a way they are doing their job,of informing us, but are not causing riots and freak outs in the homes of the audience. I find that they also only expose the whole truth about news when it involves a huge percentage of the audience ( aka Amanda Todd, 911, New Orleans Hurriacane) They do this because they feel like if they tell us all about these situations in hope it will effect us in a positive way. They hope. they don't guaruntee, with the Amanda Todd situation an outburst was made and the group Anonymous took action. I don't think this is a positive reaction but I don't feel it is a negative reaction either. The media is not at fault for how we react to the news we are recieving, they are at fault for keeping us in the dark until it is too late.
2012 VS. 60's Era
Your blog entry for today will ask you to compare/contrast and analyze 2012 vs your era AND any other era that you can tie in or relate to. For example, you might want to start talking about all of the similar presentations for 2012 and why you thought that happened? Was it a coincidence? You might want to compare some of the ads you saw. What was similar what was different? How were some of the eras similar? There are so many different aspects to touch upon.
2012. The year of The I Phone 5, One Direction, new Tim Horton's cup sizes, The Android, The I Pod Touch 5th Generation and of course the thousand new or remade, movies. There's no doubt that 2012 has been the year for new and improved technology. Whether its new artist and bands , new communication technology, or even just entertainment. We are growing up depending on these things like its our life line. 1960's. The years of coloured t.v and Pepsi, The Beatles and the great classic Psycho by: Alfred Hitchcock. It's loud and clear that our years have developed well beyond the 60's but in some ways we are still the same. But How? In each era, technology has vastly improved making our lifestyles different from the years before. Improving our lifestyle day by day. Some of the eras were different in a way where we've improved some form of technology from the past. for example, black and white tellevision, to know where you can get 3D t.vs, blu ray, and HD. Music boxes, to i-pod touchs, coca-cola glass bottles to close-able beer cans. A lot of the presentations for 2012 had the same information involved. Everyone know's SWAG and Yolo are the popular sayings of the year, Taylor Swifts first good break up song, the Asian's one hit wonder, and Justin Bieibers new album with his new voice. Everyone is exposed to the same type of technology everyday. Our year has been a huge improvement from the past couple of years, but the 60's were also a huge improvement from the past decades.

Slow Walker Rant!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPn-KLrG2PU&feature=plcp
Why did you choose the subject/topic that you did for this rant and did it help to get some frustrations off of your chest?
I chose this subject to rant about, because I am constantly getting frustrated in the halls when I get stuck behind slow walkers while trying to get to class, so I felt this would be a good time to get all my frustrations off my chest. So yes, this assignment did help.
What did you learn about technology during this project. Think about the research, the writing, the transfering, the taping, the transfering to electronic formats etc.
Ilearned that technology really goes a long way. It gives you information on anything and helps you understand what the assignment and point of it was.
