Finally! After being directed all over the place on this site, being asked how i want my blog to look, what i want to edit, set, add, color, advertise, design ... i feel rather drained. Whatever leftover creativity i might have had from this long week, which i was saving up for this saturday's morning homework assignment, has been all used up just getting here. Yeah, ok...it's a lame personal disclaimer, which might not even be true ...but depending on how this first post turns out, you can be the judge of that. Either way, it's an assignment and it must be done...so, on to the word building.
Probably the easiest way to land this 1st post assignment; to "describe ALL the mass media" we use thru out an entire day, ...well i would think i would have to recreate my typical day and start from the begining with a list, because there is so much all around us, all day, all the time... but per our instructor's instructions we aren't allowed too write a list, per se, but perhaps i'll "pulp fiction" this post and start from the end of the day and work backwords. hmmm, that working backward's thing, sounds rather familiar
This is not a list...but you don't have to believe that if you don't want.
I think it's rather accurate to say...one last look at email right before i close my eyes on my never-leaving-my-side iphone, as if my day would be considered a failure if I just happen to let one slippery piece of spam email get thru my firewall causing a security breach that will totally ruin my life, please!
Where was I, oh yes, moving backwards without getting dizzy, there's news, reality shows, True Blood, snail mail, billboards, radio and facebook, Facebook-nah...that will take too long, work computers, networking with people as in normal conversations, internet/intranet, emails, computer, morning radio and iphone check. hmmmm...iphone, didn't i end with that? weird.
Media; it's all communication. In one form or another, it's all somehow computer driven. Whether it's a digital billboard, ipad, laptop, desktop, phone, flatscreen tv....it's all communication driven by a computer, feed by anyone who needs to pass on some information, whether to buy something, to inform, to help, to share, to connect....it's all about communication. We need it, to function, to complete our tasks, to be on top of things, to almost survive. But I can also enjoy a break from it. From simple writing, reading and talking...its is all communication and the different forms, sizes and shapes it comes in.
welcome to my blog....
