The media is somewhat important to my life.  Only certain branches of the media affect me while others, not so much.  The internet is a very useful resource and has affected much of what I do in my life, from helping me research for an assignment, to providing me information on subjects of interest, to allowing me to buy products I would not normally be capable of purchasing at a store, or many other things, in fact without the internet I would not have had the opportunity to get my chemistry credit.  I also use the media as form of entertainment, from the movies I watch, to the television I watch, to the games I play, and even the books I read, the media has proven to be a useful tool for distracting me.  The reason that the media is only somewhat important to my life is because that I don't blog, in fact this is the first blog I have ever posted ever, and to be truthful this is taking a while to figure out, I also do not listen to that much music neither, don't get the wrong message from this though, it is not that I don't listen to music ever, its that I am not actively searching to listen to music like most people would.
