my media autobiography

We use media everyday. it has evolved so drastically that almost anyone in the world can have access to it. There are so many types, for kids, for adults all with the latest news. Media has changed the way people think and act and react.
I was raised in a decent home, with my mom and dad and have loved media ever since i can remember. i used to read many different childrens books such as the "doctor suess" books and "curious george". I aslo watched loads of TV. many childrens programs and movies. i remember one of my favorite movies was "beauty and the beast".

As i grew older i started playing sports and watching a lot more TV. i wacthed lots of games, and was an Espn junkie. Still to this day im a big sports fan. Nowadays the internet has grow huge. The internet has become a big part of my life, as for other humans as well. I use it for fun and for work; From "facebook" to homework to checking the news or weather, to researching for a term paper, the internet is the ultimate media tool. My favorite topics of media is music and radio. I believe music is a powerful thing and without it the world would be dull.

Im 19 years old and currently a college student at de anza. i plan to major in Business marketing. I believe media directly corresponds because in todays society we call it media marketing. Selling by networking. I am not set on any four year college yet but currently looking into SJSU or UCSB.

internet addiction

i am a frequent user of the internet but do not really use it for shopping, dating, or gaming. i know many poeple who are addicted to computer games or facebook. many teenagers constantly post about their lives and whats going on in the world every five minutes on the facebook. i would consider this addiction to a certain extent.  this is sad to me in way, because people get used to expressing their thoughts and feelings online, they forget how to talk to talk and socialize with people in the real world. facebook and other social network addcition can make you shy and awkward in real life.

favorite movies

favorite movie of 2010-2011---> Inception 
i really enjoyed this movie, i saw it not only 2 times in theateres but also a 3rd time. the plot and storyline was vey cool and unique as well. im not big on the action sci fi type movies, but seriously this one blew me away. leonardo di caprio is also excellent in the picture.

All time Favorite of the last decade---> The Departed
this was absolutley my favorite movie of the last decade. all my favorite actors were in it such as matt damon, mark wahlberg, jack nicholson, leo dicaprio, and directed by martin scorcese who is a legend. great acting jobs on all the characters but i especially enjoyed jack. the plot and story was awesome and full of tension. i highly recommend. http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi770769177/
