In this unit, you explored different types of media that people use to communicate information. you learned about print media, broadcast media, and internet media.

choose a type of media that you think you could live without. why do you think that you don't need this type of media in your life? what don’t you like about it, or what makes it less useful than other types of media?

next, choose a type of media that you think you couldn't live without. why do you think that you need to have this type of media in your life? what aspects of this type of media appeal to you? what would you do to make this type of media even better and more useful to you?

      I could live without print media since it's not as relevant as before such as 20 years ago. To add, the environmental impact with the abundance of paper that needs to be made to provide this media isn't worth it since it's not the only option of media out there to use. And I wasn't even including the textile industry's havoc on nature. To focus back, my main point is that print media industry is dying out and it isn't worth trying to preserve.

    The second one is a little tricky when you think of all the things that can happen outside of daily life at least for me, but personally I feel that I would much rather have internet media stay in my life than broadcast media. Of course, broadcast media can be very important in diaster scenarios, but it just doesn't play a large part in my everyday life. Ideally networks like pbs are a great way to get news since they are a government service and are impartial to right or left thinking, but many don't use it like me. It could be a great valuable tool for getting informed especially in controversial discussions. As it is now I would rather have internet media as oppose to broadcast media has it has pertain to my life.
