InTroDUctIOn

Hi, my name is Kelly-Lynne. I don't have a lot of time for stuff outside of school or work, but I do enjoy organizing my room, going antique shopping, traveling and hanging out with my boyfriend....pretty lame (-; I'm involved with Cru at UMBC and am an avid watcher of Gossip Girl (guilty pleasure). So...enough about my boring life...
For me, media not only includes the regular TV/movie/news venues and extends to almost everything I encounter. Since I want to work for a magazine or some sort of news program my schoolwork and habits include ingesting a LOT of media. In part "media" has negative connotations in my mind, but since media is most likely my future "media" has a very different definition.
My media habits are pretty up-to-date, for 2009. I don't have the newest technology but I do have access to technology on a pretty regular basis. I bring my phone and laptop everywhere because they hold so much of the access to communication that I need throughout my life. Sure, I don't have a fancy I-pod phone or a high-def television but I don't really have time for watching television all the time...perhaps that is because I don't have TiVo.
My view of the media is primarily based on how I can use it to benefit my life. Although this may be the reverse of technological determinism (technology helping versus affecting our lives negatively).
