Media Autobiography

I consistently have daily relationships with the eight types of mass media; books, newspapers, magazines, movies, recordings, radio, television, and the internet. I've constantly read books as I was younger, but now I usually only read required books for school or sometimes I will read for fun during my spare time. As a child, my favorite books to read were "The Series of Unfortunate Events". I was addicted and I've read all the series. If a movie was made from a book, I would rather read the book because I find it more interesting. I don't always read newspapers but once in a while I read San Jose Mercury News so I am aware of what is going on with the world. If not reading a newspaper, I usually watch the news on television. When I was younger, I was interested in reading magazine articles about animals, but as I've grown up, I became very interested in reading magazines about fashion, celebrities and clothing stores. Watching movies are one of my favorite things to do. I enjoy going to movie theaters. Movies and television are mainly for entertainment. I feel that commercials that are played on television are mainly for advertisement. To get the word out there, mostly to have more consumers and to send out messages to people everywhere. I believe that many television shows has influenced me positively in some ways of how I act around my friends. For example, the funny things people would do together with their friends on a show, me and my friends would reenact it. Then we would call it our little "inside joke". When I was younger, I used to listen to recordings while I read. For example, I used to read books for fun that were in a higher level and I would rent the recordings from the library so I can play it as I follow along while I read. I always listen to the radio. I enjoy listening to the radio for all the good songs playing on the radio stations but I also use to radio to listen to the news in the morning. Like when I am driving to school, I believe that's the perfect time to listen to the news and earliest celebrity gossip. Now my favorite of all is the Internet. I constantly use the internet for almost everything I do. I use the internet as all of the eight types of mass media. I also use the internet for networking and communicating with others, such as Yahoo, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, etc. Internet makes it easier for me and everyone else and it is accessible for doing homework and blogging.
