Reflecting on our Love/Hate Relationship with Media

Reflection:
It was interesting to see that most people in the class have the same type of attitude about using media. Everyone does it because we live in the digital age but everyone also has some kind of issue with using it due to complexities or other factors.

Specific Media Type:

The type of media that I chose to write about is visual media. I enjoying watching CSI and criminal type shows at home and online but some things really bug me about these shows. Mainly I am disturbed because I know that the reality of these types of investigations is that they aren't solved in weeks, months, and sometimes years, let alone in a 60 minute show. I am also disturbed sometimes with the content. I know that a lot of the shows content is often based from material in the news. However, I worry about "copy cat" murderers, rapists, etc. watching these shows and seeing a "good way" to do a certain crime. Scary stuff!
