Tanika Lee--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?
For me, it’s a positive. I can see the negative. But for me I don’t have enough time in the day and texting is fun. fast easy was to keep in touch. If I have a question, I can just send a text. There's no need to have an awkward conversation with someone, that neither one of you wants to have. It’s quick, it’s easy. If I have a 10 page paper, in a couple of hours I can type it out, and not have to write it out which would take a long time. We wouldn't have medical advances without technology. GPS is crucial to me! I can see how it’s bad. They are using the same technology for medical cures in bombs, and war...there is a heads and tails to everything. It's really where people’s accountability comes into question. It’s using it, not the actually technology that’s the problem.


Do you think media is biased? How so?
Yes. I think that the media is going to take any angle that is going to sell papers and get more viewers. It causes a problem not it's not necessarily about the truth. Because the truth is boring. Making up a lie is much more fun.
