The 5 Principles that stood out most to me.
1. Media mesagesaffect our decisions, preceptions, & pocketbook decisons
Everyone thinks that they need the latest and greatest to keep up with their peers. An example is when the new Iphones come out everone has to have the new one becasue the adds say it is better than the previous one. It can be harmful to those with lots of money and those without who will go into debut. I relate because I feel the pull to get the latest and greatest things.
2. Fatsy differs from relaity
I always fantasise about what I would have if I could have it but being able see the reality of it is important. I know that I can finish school and be a great teacher. Fantasy for me is I dont have to take all these classes to reach my goal.
3. It is all about emotion
If I feel strongly about something I will go into action and take care of the problem. If I dont have a connection/emotion I could walk away from it without looking back. Emotion is important to me if I feel the stress of a test I will work harder or study less depending on my emotion and needs.
4. Activists can create a better meida culture
People who are willing to get out there and inform people will make the difference. If I want people to know things I will tell them and be an activist for the cause. Like going to college I am a huge activist and tell all kids to go to school.
5. Media education must precede media reform.
I agree that people need to know about media and how to use it before we can change it to be used more often and for more things. If we change it before everyone is onboard then we will loose a lot of people and they may not catch the boat. I know it took me a while to get on board but once I got on I got STUCK! :)
6. Media education should nobe left to Big Media.
If we left media education to big companys then we would only be learning and hearing what they want us to know. It is important for everyone to have a say in education. I know if I wanted to tell people about what was going in the world of education the media better let me.

Refection on Media Use
I am going to start with saying... I might have an addiction to electronics. If my phone isn't with me at all times I feel almost like im missing a part of myself. I use all electronics a lot but my phone is my most prized out of all of them. It keeps me connected with my friends, family, work, email, internet, and games. I am constantly doing something and my electronics are never far behind.
Most Media Use:
Weekends when I'm at work at the hospital I probably use the most media. Depending on what I'm doing at work that day I may be on the computer for a full 12 hour shift. Doctors dont order there own tests for patients so the techs do all of that for them. I order all those labs on the computer and then have to call the lab techs to make sure they got the tests and are running the. I then am on the phone aswering calls from patients needing anything from medicine to having to go to the bathroom. Answering bussiness calls also falls into my job descriptin. I have to call doctors an all hours of the night to ask questions and have them order special labs.
Least Media Use:
I use the least amount of media during the day on the nights that I have to work because I sleep most of the day. Over spring break I would sleep all day on Friday and then work all night. That cuts my phone and computer use in half for a 24 hour period.
Where I spend my Media time:
I spend most of my media time on my laptop doing homework, Iphone talking to friends sending emails and talking, very little TV time maybe two hours a week during the semester, and I use my ipod nano when I'm at the gym on the rare occassions that I have time.
Reasons:
The main reason that I use media is becasue my work and school life revolve around my being in contact with lots of different people all the time and working on multiple assignments at once. While at the hospital it isn't uncommon to be talking on the phone, flagging down a nurse to get the runaway patient, and entering labs on the computer. This semester the hospital days are Friday and Saturday nights. I do multi-tasking because its my job and im good at it.
When do I use the most Media:
I do use media more often when I'm in a bad or sad mood. I will sit down infront of the TV and watch a chick flick if im sad and if I'm mad I will be texting my best friend non-stop. The TV is good for sad days because then I dont have to talk about what's bothering me. Its the opposite when I'm mad though my best friend has to know and if we cant talk we will text and text a lot.
Media Use Surprise:
I knew that I texted a lot and normally I dont open my AT&T bills because they are auto paid, but I decided a few months ago I wanted to know how much I text a month. I was a little surprised when it said about 5,000 a month that is a lot of messages.
With the advancements in the world to day everyone is using more technology and I am no exception. I dont spend as much time talking on the phone as a lot of people but I spend a lot more time texting than a lot of people too. What will the effects be latter in life? I dont know, do belive though that with more impersonal communication people will be become shy and not want to talk in person at all. That I believe would be a loss to our culture and country.
