I want to go to Texas Tech University, because of several things. I've heard really good things about it in the Medicine aspect of it, and also read really good reviews. Also, it's close to home so I won't have to go far away and leave my family. Another reason could be that it offers several scholarships and university opportunities.

1. What does the video say about how media influence works on individual people?


The media influences everyone in various ways. It can influence us in a negative or in a positive way. It is an extremely useful tool that we all use in our everyday lives while on the computer, reading the newspaper, watching television, or even looking through a magazine. It can affect us in a negative, because while using the media, we take advantage of our time. However, it impacts us in a positive way, because we learn about events and things that are happening and occurring in the world.

2. What is your favorite fact pointed out in the video? Explain why this fact is important or interesting to you?


My favorite fact pointed out in the video was the statistics of Facebook. It shocked me how much it has grown in the past years, and how many people are on it everyday, every hour of their lives. They check it constantly and it eventually becomes a second nature. This caught my attention, because for example, I learned that every day about a million people join Facebook.




3. How is multimedia affecting our daily lives? Do you think there such a thing as "too much media" in our lives?


Multimedia is affecting our daily lives in a negative way rather than in a positive way. It gives us information, it searches for us, and it basically makes us be dependent on something. It makes everything much easier, and it's getting to the point were people are over-using the media. Today, our world is overrun with technology. In other words, there's "too much media" in our lives, making people dumber and dumber as time goes by.

1. What media is used in my everyday life?

There are many types of media that are used in our everyday lives. Media is known as the main means of mass communication. Some examples could be: TV, newspapers, internet and the radio. In my everyday life I use media by going on the internet to watch videos, and also by watching T.V.

 

2. In what ways have I used multimedia for a class assignment before? 

I've used multimedia in this class for the past three weeks. I did a PowerPoint on how to edit an Instagram account by using screenshots. Also, I've used multimedia when I go on the Internet to look up information, or to save pictures for presentations.   

3. Explain how the World Wide Web is considered multimedia.

The World Wide Web can be considered multimedia, because just like multimedia it uses one or more mediums of expression or communication. The World Wide Web is part of multimedia because for example, when using the internet, you can have many pages open at the same time. Basically, it is considered multimedia, because you can multitask while surfing the web.

4. What is the difference between time-based media and static-media? Give examples of each.

The difference between time-based media and static-media is that time-based media are images that that move. Some examples could be videos, music, and sometimes even pictures or gifs. Static- media is the media that does not move including newspapers, books, and magazines.

 5. Insert a video (into your blog) that discusses/shows/involves multimedia you are interested in. Now answer the following questions after you insert the video. How is this multimedia? Why does this interest you?

This video shows Justin Bieber singing to the song that got him to the place where he is right now. In other words this video made him get famous. This is considered multimedia, because if it wouldn't have been for YouTube, Justin would still be an average talented teenager. This interests me, because it's so crazy how one video that went viral on the internet, can get people so far in life.
