Entry #9 Media Synthesis

 Media influences people all over the world every moment of every day, even if you did not know. Media consists of apps on a phone like social media, all the way to paintings in a museum. Media is everywhere. Before this class I did not know that basically everything is a form of media. 


    Media is influencing me all the time whether its news related, sports related, or just an internet trend. I see videos on TikTok about certain events happening around the world occasionally. I would ask my dad about them sometimes and every once and awhile I would be told that the news I saw was fake. Another example would be when I am watching or attending a sporting event and there is media surrounding me. Advertisements for product, sports analyzers and other fans showing of media. Athletes support certain stances who influence others including myself. They have stances on world issues but also just products that these athletes use in their particular sport.

A media like Ai has really started to kick off as of recently. It has made society very lazy. At this rate everyone around says Ai will take over the world. I wonder how many jobs will eventually be taken over by an Ai computer system. I am unfamiliar with Ai and do not know how it works. It honestly shocks me how Ai can instantly spit out information in seconds on whatever it was told to do. 


    I will be very honest most of my media and news comes from social media between Instagram and TikTok. This causes good and bad problems. Social media and any media can give false information. If you see the same news multiple times people, including myself, tend to start believing them. Another place I get media phone is places like ESPN and Bleacher Report. These are sports media outputs. These apps give news such as- recent score activity, trades, and other sports news.

    Media is very important for daily use by everyone whether it is news related or not. Media is used to understand society and what is going on around the world. It also allows people to see other people's stances and views on the world around them. Media is only going to become more prevalent as the internet continues to evolve. Media influences people in very bad ways but can also be good. It all relies on how the user of the media interprets the information shown.
