How am I Changing my View on Media

      My view on media changes constantly but it has changed more so in the time that I have been in Critical Thinking. The process of digging deep into today's media has truly assisted me in realizing how pointless it really is. The thoughts of companies who produce ads, for example, has given me a great insight on how worthless ads really are and now that I know that the companies intentions are to build a relationship with the consumer, I am greatly skeptical of any ads I see today. I am also trying to pull back from "screen" usage to break any bonds I may already have with ads that I am constantly shown. This is proving to be an extremely difficult task seeing as I need my phone for communication purposes and other school related scenarios. Ads are a big part in my life, big (in this case) meaning oppressive, intrusive, and downright annoying.
