Blog #1-Steve Settembrino

My media habits are like the normal for college students. I love watching tv, using my ipod and also using my laptop. I love watching TV i think that it is the most media i use. I usually cannot go a day without watching tv. Also i think my computer is something i cannot live without. I can live without my ipod though. My view on the media is that it helps get information out faster than ever. People also think that the media misconstrues situations for their benifit but i also think that it is their job to do that in order to grasp peoples attention. The media nowadays helps people find information and use information fast and in a appropirate manner. I understand the term media is anything or person that portrays information and provides it to the community. If we did not have media it would be impossible to gain new information and to spread information to our society.
My name is Steve Settembrino and i am a senior at UMBC. I play lacrosse here on the mens team and i am originally from Yorktown NY which is right near New York CIty. My relationship with the media is that i need it for the things i do during the day. For example i need my cell phone for communication along with my computer for information and for communication. I usually use tv for entertainment purposes and for information also.

I thought the blog could of been a little longer. You could of gotten more into detail on some of the things you mentioned throughout it. The punctuation could of used a little work too.

I would say that, by your definition of media, that your whole life is surrounded by media, and that is how you really need it. Your shirt provides information to the community about brands and what you wear, your phone gets your information from one place to another, your car has logos of the company that made it, portraying their message that they made that car, etc.
