Blog #8 (Old Time Radio Show)

This was Crazy fun i was realy oppose to to listening to old radio.  I actually listned to the comody about judy and it had me laughing out of my chair.  What i liked most about it was the fact that it let my imagination make up the images rather than an already made image of the people that we ordinarily see on t.v.. I actually say that this could trump t.v. for me. I think i could actually listen to radio for long periods of time i caught myself getting mad a couple of times when they cut to commercial. Lol actually you know what i think i might listen to another show!

Blog #7 (Napster V.S. Itunes)

I myself prefer I-Tunes over Napster because i have a Mac and an I-Pad but after reading this information i may have to re-consider.....I feel like when it comes to downloading/buying material you wanna go for the safest buy....and after doing a lot of research they both seem to be virus free websites...A great thing about I-Tunes though that sets them apart from the competition is its large Music database.......on the other hand the great thing about Napster that sets them apart is there affordable prices!  So i kind of like that they both are great as far as security but honestly i would pick Napster over I-Tunes because I'm one of those Frugal people that likes to save money!

Blog #6 (The End Of Paper)

This is very interesting newspapers have been around for years but i think that they are going to go away in the future.  Even though I'm sure that newspapers will disappear, newspaper as we see it today will be around for along time before its demise . Although there is some kind of technology that will become available that will eliminate newspapers....it is safe to say that whatever this technology is it will have to be produced in the masses before newspapers and or printing are taken over completely.

Blog #5 (Banning Books)

I feel like banning some books in schools are very important.  I fell like banning the dictionary is a little over the top.  Especially when children today are exposed to this type of sexual language and even participate in some cases.  It is my opinion that if the child is old enough to read the definition in the dictionary they are old enough to learn about whatever they are reading.  As far as certain books in the libraries like adult novels they should be banned especially those sexually driven ones that promote sex and pornography.  Maybe they could have another section just for adult novels in general that way it would eliminate the access that children would have to these books.

Blog #4 (Poor Richard)

           "The sleeping Fox catches no poultry"
                                                   -Benjamin Franklin


I chose this quote because it reminds me alot of my grandfather. As a kid he always woke me up with a quote. "Don't be so eager to sleep, because one day you will sleep forever".  The quote by Benjamin Franklin does the same thing that the quote my grandfather told me did.  It inspires me to keep on pushing, in life sometimes it is so easy to just lay down and go to sleep... but success comes from a person that is wide awake, diligent and focused.

Blog #3 (Social Interaction)

Does the internet isolate people form real social interaction, or does it actually foster more social interaction?  To elaborate on this idea of social interaction you would have to have a clear definition of "Real Social Interaction".   If your looking at social interaction as being a close ended form of in-person communication i could see how one would come to the conclusion of the internet isolating real social interaction.  On the other hand if were talking about social interaction as a whole i think if anything it helps.  Twitter and Facebook have given us outlets to be able to express ourselves with other people that some of us wouldn't ordinarily do if we were face to face with someone.  It also allows every person to be able to communicate to the masses.  All in all i still feel like the internet is a new form of real social interaction and as long as were interacting whether through the internet or in person all dialogue is good dialogue.

Blog #2 (CBS Thought)

Implementation users should still have a love of story telling a love of clear vivid language and a respect for history does this matter?  I completely agree with this, media has definitely changed over the years especially because it is more accessible then it was before. With this accessibility of information, many of us overwhelming disregard the ways in which we had before IPhone's, IPad's, and computers. The main goal of media giants today is focused more on building an economic empire rather than putting out quality work.

Blog #1

Choosing by my Internet score of  38 one would say I'm pretty average when it comes to the use of social media.  I myself would respond by saying that based on the way i chose to answer the questions on the Internet junkie test i might just be a little bias. I would say on average for me i spend about 6-8 hours online including text messaging. This does not however include the time i subconsciously spend using social media. I would say that in most cases the time i spend online using social media including text messaging and Internet, is both good and bad depending on where exactly it leads me.  It is not the best use of my time when i find my self on YouTube for hours looking at one video after another, only to realize that half of my day has passed. On the other hand it is the best use of my time when i randomly have an educational curiosity for learning, and i find myself researching something that i otherwise had no interest in researching. So for me social media is used for education, recreation and information.
