media

It's been a while. So I think it is about time for me to write a blog. Toward the end of class yesterday we were given a blog prompt. I do not know much about the subject, but I figured I would give it a whirl. While walking back from class I started to realize how dependant I am with media. If I'm not on my computer I am talking on my cell phone while possibly at the same time watching the TV. Not to mention I am on my computer quite a bit. I thought about what it would be like to have no media in my life at all for a week. I honestly do not know if I could do it. First off because I love sports, and also many times I catch myself being on my computer for hours. I do not think this is what Marshal McLuhan wanted us to do. I do think that he wants us to be more aware on how dependant we are on technology. This hit me kind of hard, because I realized that to some point I might even treat my computer or phone like an idol. If i realize I have left without my phone, I would/have gone back to get it. Thats sad. I wish that is how I treated my God. So over the next couple of days I am going to challenge myself to realize how blessed I am to have these tools and thank God for them.
