Today's media consumption is an overload. I must admit that I am apart of this media consumption and at times I get lost in media and all of it's uses; but the media had provided a lot "reasons" more or less, for us to use it. People use media to pass time, gain information, motivation, encouragement, happiness, social interaction, to hide and create someone new of themselves, the reasons are really endless. But I think people have been lost in it now and there's that line of always on and always connected. Just the other day I actually had forgotten my phone at home when I went to work. When I got home that night and checked it, I had 32 text messages and 12 missed calls! When I went through all of my missed texts and calls, there were 8 people who were scared and had thought something tragic had happened to me.
Our society had become reliant on technology, it had surpassed the point of what technology was actually made for, but now is a huge play in people's lives now. It's like impossible for people to go throughout the day without their technology, being phones, ipods, etc, computers, social networking sites. Technology has become so popular and life necessity that text books are beginning to disappear!!!
That right there, is enough to support the idea that technology has taken over our lives and everything in it and how we do it.
