Media Autobiography

Books, Newspapers, Magazines, Movies, Recordings, Radio, Television and the Internet are the eight types of mass media that have been incorporated in my life. Some of these different medias have been implicated more than the others. I am not the type of person who reads books for fun, in fact the only time I read is when I have to for school. Half the time I did not even read the books in high school, because I disliked reading that much. I did appreciate some of the assigned books I had to read. Lord of the Flies, 1984, Death of a Salesman, Fahrenheit 451 and What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20, were the books I thought to be the most interesting and enjoyable to read. When I was younger my mom and I would both always buy the newspaper. The only section I would read was the sports section. As I grew older, my mom and I stopped buying the newspaper. I would try to get the newspaper for free whenever the Mercury News had a promotion, so that I could read the sports section. Now I only read the newspaper when I am in a waiting lobby. I was never to big into magazines. I never subscribed to any magazines, I just was not really into magazines as a child or even now, though I did just get a free subscription from Forbes. Movies have always been apart and will always be apart of my life. I've never met anyone who doesn't appreciate or enjoy movies. I try to go to the movies as often as possible, but I have been on a drought recently. I think the last movie I saw was Inception. How crazy of a director does one have to be to come up with that kind of story plot? It was an amazing movie to say the least. Recordings as far as music goes has been very important to me. Music has been known as the heart of the soul. I love to listen to music everyday in my life. I am more of an AM radio person than the FM radio. I am a huge sports fan so I constantly listen to KNBR 680. Do I even need to mention the greatness of TV. TV is one of the best things created by man himself, ever. Internet is also very important to almost everyone nowadays. Their is so much to do on the computer, which makes it so valuable. TV, Internet, Music, and Radio are the more paramount of the eight medias. I do not really intend to do something in mass media, but that does not mean it is not interesting and fun to learn about.
