I haven't always realized the strong relationship between me and the media. My mother always made it a point to read me books and take me to libraries, books have been influencing my life for nineteen years. Each book helped me escape to other worlds and I've been fond of them ever since. I don't believe I've ever been much of a writer, I'm much more rather an appreciator of books. The newspaper to me has always been seen as a grown up form of reading, seeing that the world is made up of so much more than your own life. To be honest I didn't put much importance on the newspaper till recent years. In high school I was obsessed with fashion magazines and I would make such an effort to stay informed in their society. Over time it became a luxury that overtime I didn't care for much or have time, so my connection with magazines ends there. Ah the movies, I love them so. So many different types of film exist and I have indulged in many of them. The film business has peaked my interests a lot and would love to learn more about it. Recordings, besides some audio books I have heard I haven't had much experience with recordings. Voice and character seem to be really the key point to making a good audio book. The radio and I have a bittersweet relationship. I spend most of the time positively annoyed at its repetitive narrow sounds, but most times forced to listened to it. To me, it has really lost any genuine feel. Television, seems to be the second most popular form of media, next to the Internet. I honestly don't spend to much time watching live television, I stick with movies and DVD of seasons that I love. I am pretty disconnected with the television. The biggest media for me personally is the Internet, my life doesn't function without it. It's in my daily life most of the time. From this one super media I can receive all of the other media types and I am sinfully addicted.
A job in the media doesn't really interest me, I do enjoy the psychological aspects of the media and its influences. That is where my major comes in, psychology. I've never lived in another country but I have grown up in a Hispanic culture, so I have been influenced by other countries media. It's a bit louder.
