The media is one of the most integral parts of modern everyday life, and it effects us all in one way or another. Personally, I use media products and processes on a daily basis; from watching videos on YouTube or iPlayer- to watching T.V and listening to music, i spend a fair amount of my free time using media as a form of entertainment.
Although i have described media as an integral part of everyday life; that doesn't mean i spend every minute of my day engrossed in it. I don't use the internet everyday and although i have a Facebook account, i don't update it regularly.
Even though most of the examples i've given are examples of new media; these products don't have to be electronic devices. However print media is slowly dying as even newspapers are now starting to move online. I find i can link these products in with my normal day-to-day life without having to set aside a period of time to use them. For example, on the way to school everyday I listen to my iPod or try and read the newspaper, or even both.
