Media Literacy
The Understand of the Media World
One of the many meaning of Media.
What is Media? Is it a person, place or thing and if so what is it used for? These are the kind of questions that some people ask themselves everyday of their lives. I am here to tell you what I believe Media is. I believe that media is first of all a thing but we cannot touch it physically. It is information that our brain processes in many different ways. It can be just talking to a friend online or in person; it can also be the shows we watch on television or even the music we listen to. Every year, the power and influence of the Media increases, it has gotten so advanced that now students are required to use media at school on a daily basis. Some media is easier to understand then others, such as a show you might watch on television. Then there are the types of Media that gives your brain a great work-out such as finding the meaning of a song, to even use Media properly you have to be Media Literate.
When you are Media Literate, you have a understanding of the Media you use, see and hear on a daily. You have to be greatly Media Literate when it comes to somethings such as Twitter. Twitter is a social media website and app that allows people to talk and see what happens in someone else’s day to day life. When it comes to being Media Literate, it seems the younger you are the easier it is to understand media and its fast changing influence on the world. This is what Media means to me, I am sure that there are others out there that feel differently but that’s okay. There is no correct answer to the question…What is Media?
