Before, I perceive media as a place where most communications happens. A place where people can chat and receive the latest news from different sources. Media is where most people would regularly visit to catch up to the world. Now, I perceive media as a source where information is brought throughout the world. As I think more about it, media is what keeps the world going. We use media as a source of communication. Without media, the world would be bleak and uninteresting. We want to receive the latest news and information because it is our type of entertainment. We are able to connect with countless people worldwide because of media. The world wouldn’t survive without media.
Media serves as a medium of communication for me. As a socially inept person, I don’t always to catch up with what’s going on with the world and with the people I know. As I discover media, I am able to connect with people and chat with them even if I am shy in the real world. I am able to catch up with some of the news worldwide so I could join conversations concerning current events.
There are some situations where I find this useful not only for the purpose of academics but also for the purpose in the real world. I recall some events in school wherein we had to give our own speech about the current events of our country as a project. In Oral Communication, we chose our own topic that we could give our speech about. Using media and information literacy in this situation would create an excellent outcome. In other words, media and information is purposeful for creating insights and catching up with people to converse topics concerning worldwide current issues or events.
