Evolution.

The power of Digital and Social media on our daily lives is limitless and abounding daily. Never in the history of the world would anyone have believed that you could post, tweet or blog about something and literally milliseconds later share it with the entire world. No longer do we need to carry around a walk-men, cell phone, laptop, and books. We simply pull out our iPhone and have each of these "essentials" at the touch of our fingertips. Our media intake is no longer limited to local or even national events. The international spectrum of media interaction is available to each of us anytime we feel the need to inform or be informed. Each of us know exactly what we want to read, hear, and listen to. We also know where to find it and how to share it with others. With almost all Social and Digital Media we as readers or receivers also have the opportunity to be the producers, therefore filling our need to be a part of an active audience.

As partakers of this Media Evolution we each have media induced rituals in which we very rarely ever stray. Whether it's checking facebook or twitter every morning before class, or picking up the New York Times on your way into the office every day we each have specific outlets and ways in which we choose to be informed about the events occurring all around us. In doing so, do we become biased towards the specific media outlets we chose to partake of? And do those Media outlets sway our daily actions and decisions? When considering these question I don't necessarily think the media tell us what to think, but more so they offer us with specific ideals to think about. In the end does this sway us one way or the other? I do not know. But I do know that as our ability to receive social and digital media continues to increase, the possibilities to these questions are endless and ever changing.....
