TV or internet?

   As we had our short discussion in class the other day about the award show that no one seemed to watch according to ratings, I find my self never watching any type of television for that matter, which is weird because that’s where most of my time was spent.. in front of the TV watching some stupid entertaining reality show after school or at night before bed. 

   Last week my roommate and I finally got cable after a month of living with out any source of television and I was so stoked on the fact that I get to watch TV again. I still find myself not watching any TV because my time is either pre occupied by facebook or simply attending school and studying, when I do watch TV I now tend to watch the news because I try to keep up with what is going on in the community I live in or around the world for that matter. I find it interesting how more people my age are spending more and more time on the Internet (facebook myspace blogs etc ) and other things rather then watching TV.

a little delayed

   Well giving the fact that the VMA’S were two weeks ago I continue to see magazines through out different stores with Britney Spears on the cover, and her ” wonderful comeback” at the vma’s. I just am a little confused why this is such huge news for magazines and news programs to be talking about the former pop star and her appearance at the award show. I mean don’t get me wrong that’s awesome, she looked great at the Music awards but why should this be on the cover of different Magazines, I just feel as if there are a little more important issues going around in this world besides Britney looking a lot better then last year.

    The pop star has been through a lot with the media but I think its about time that we stop pin pointing her in negative and positive ways and let her be. Maybe the media should find a new target because News on Britney is getting a little old and outdated. The media always finds something to attack with her, maybe because she has so many problems, but honestly Im sick of seeing Britney spears everywhere.

Just a thought

I was at my aunts house last weekend and I happened to come across an old issue of people magazine dated back to July, My attention was caught when I saw the Obama family on the cover, Not just Mr. Obama him self but his daughters & his wife as well. I have to say they are an extremely adorable family. I was thinking about the questions we have been going over in class as I was reading the article, such as who is buying or subscribing to this magazine to actually read about his life, upper, middle class? Why the democrat on the cover of people magazine and not the republican? I don’t know I just thought it was interesting how him and his family made the cover of people magazine, We have yet to hear anything on McCain’s family, or actually I don’t know I’m not really following the whole presidential campaign but I’m slowly trying to understand and get into it.
