Here's..My Card.

My name is Brian and I'm a sophmore at UMBC this year. I just declared myself as a Media and Communications major. I love music, hockey and movies. I have a very solid relationship with media. I carry my cell phone everywhere and feel disconnected if I don't have it or the battery dies. I spend a good amount of time on my computer, playing the occasional game or just surfing the web. I watch a few TV shows on Hulu, a website that legally hosts television episodes with advertisements. I would define media as the way that we receive and interpret information, either through oral conversations on a phone, email, text messaging, instant messenger; the postal service and ups included. As well I think of media as a form of entertainment, either through movies, music, television, radio programs and the internet. Media in my life is mostly based around music and movies. I have over 50 giga-bytes of music on my computer, and about forty or so DVDs that I have purchased over the years. The thing that interests me most about media the fact people can be so easily connected to one another through cell phones, the internet, or other forms of communication, even the highest forms of technology don't penetrate the need to be physically around other people. Even as connected as we are to people around the world, we still get lonely, we still have that basic primal instinct to be part of a community.
