Jamie C. Hazel--On Media and Technology

Technology and media have become part of our day to day lives. How do you feel about this? Is it a positive thing? Negative thing? How would your life be different without technology and media?
With everything there is a positive and a negative thing. Positive thing I can talk to my friends in an instance on Facebook or on AIM. Or I can call you at any time I want with a phone in my pocket. However, some people will get involved in their computers so much that they create their own silicone shell. Technology has the power to isolate and connect us. It’s just how you choose to use it.

Do you think media is biased? How so?
Everything is biased. Fox News is notorious for bias as well as MSNBC. To get my news I usually listen to NPR or the BBC. I try my best to stay away from sites online like the Drudge Report. However I do enjoy reading The Onion. It makes me giggle.

Go out and buy yourself a copy of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". And prepare yourself for a ride that you won’t forget.
