Over break I decided to re-read the book The Lovely Bones, because I saw commercials for it to become a movie. It's been a while since I read the book, so after seeing the commercials, I put the movie faces to the characters. I hope that associating the movie with the book will help it not be such a let down, because I always find the books to be better than the movie.
One thing I like about our media culture is the amount of information we are able to access. It makes doing projects and papers easier than only having library books as resources. One thing I don't like about our media culture is that I think we're too dependent on technology. People would be completely lost with out GPS, wouldn't know how to communicate with out cell phones, and would be bored without Internet.
I'm still pretty lost about what I want to do for the future, that's why I've picked such a broad major. However, I'd like to do something in the area of advertising or design layout. I'm obsessed with Jean Kilbourne's work, and thinking about advertising and media from a different perspective.
