I decided to take on Media 2.0 because I am not a internet media person. Yes, I am only 22 years old but I am stuck in the old age. I usually use the internet on my phone daily but that is only for celebrity news. I recently deleted my Facebook account and I am not on twitter. I do not know why I choose to be so anti social but I am. I am a firm believer in still watching the news, Fox 13 News that is. Joining this Media 2.0 class will inform me on the "new" technology and what I am missing out on. I believe I use internet and other new technical sources less because I do not want to be dependent on them. I admit that I really enjoy my android phone. I can download a lot of things free. That's another reason why I don't participate in a lot of the new technology because it is sooo expensive. I would just rather shop.
Upon reading The Longtail I noticed the significant difference in the music industry. I am a huge music fan of all genres. The Longtail told me insight on the how and why record sales are not as much as they used to be with boybands like NSYNC and pop star Brittney Spears. I frequently visit certain music sites to get informed in what is happening and who is hot right now. I tend to get frustrated at times because the technology sometimes isn't as fast or clear as I like it to be. The "new" technology cost more and takes more time. I would rather remain a regular type person and use the computer for school and business related things.
In participating in class discussions I have noticed all of the difference of opinions pertaining to the media and its source. I can just picture the future!!!
