Recently Iv been seeing how much media I have been consuming and how it is taking up too much of my time. Over the weekend on Friday after I got of work my mom took me to go get some food and we decided to go to Tower Cafe. While we were there I noticed that instead of talking to each other and socializing we were both on our phones and thankfully I thought to myself of how sad that was I put my phone away and put her phone on the table and I made me remember of how when I was little and we actually socialized. Looking back at it feels so degrading because I am with my family only so many hours in the day and with the times that I am spending with them I am on my phone updating on my friends statuses. And also on Saturday I went with my friends and we drove to the theaters and saw the new Star Wars, (which was pretty good, but it leaves you on a big cliffhanger) I thought that, that wasn't media but looking back at it it is so I also spent a good two hours with my friends watching media.
The way I see it is that it is two sided good and bad. It gives everyone something to do but it has a down fall it makes you less sociable.
I totally agree, it seems that everyone is so caught up in their media image that they do not actually care about their personal image. This can diminish character and is leaving people mannerless. Accurate.
