New Comm Tech

PART ONE

My daily media consumption begins immediately.  I start my day by drinking coffee and reading the morning news on the internet (ABC News, CNN, and whatever comes up on Digg).  I’ll also check out webcomics and blogs that I follow, if I have the time.  With the exception of this Tumblr account, I don’t contribute anything towards any social networking sites, as I find most of them completely inane and without any legitimate purpose except to indulge an already overly narcissistic society (seriously - what does Facebook really DO?). 

As I leave my home, I’m bombarded with advertising from billboards, posters, T-Shirts and bumper stickers.  I contribute to this by frequently wearing T-Shirts with ThinkGeek slogans or band names on them.  As I’m traveling to work and/or uni, I use my music player to actively choose the audio content that I listen to - whether it be music, comedy or podcasts. 

In the evenings, old media tend to dominate my media consumption.  However, I incorporate these older mediums with newer technologies, e.g. reading books in PDF form or downloading/streaming TV and movies.

Livejournal: All content posted to Livejournal in any way is the responsibility and property of the creator.  Any content deemed illegal by their local/federal laws is the responsibility of the creator.  Livejournal reserves the right to disregard your privacy if the Party Van get on their case about your content.  If your content is deemed inappropriate for general viewing, admin may ask you to issue a warning before your posts or to amend your profile settings to “Friends Only”.  If you refuse to do so, Livejournal can banhammer you butt.  Livejournal claims no ownership or control over any content posted by users (seems like an epic win until you remember that almost everything on there is SG-1 fanfic anyway).  However, if someone else steals your content, Livejournal claims absolutely no responsibility.
