My Media World


My world is becoming increasingly more surrounded by media, technology and gadgets. Living in the 21st century media is everywhere we go, it intrudes our homes and emerges our subconscious.
I like many of my friends own a Blackberry Curve, which my life admittedly is centred around. It has everything I need for my world to function, I have my phone to ring arrange to meet, ask questions or even have a catch up with my contacts, I can send them texts if a phone call is not an option and even connect instantly messaging with my fellow blackberry usage, My social network is there too so I can connect with my friends on Facebook and Twitter updating to my followers and friends of what I’m doing currently, something interesting I have seen or been a part of. The wonders of my astounding phone do not just stop there the blackberry is equipped with a camera to take photos or video record something, it has full internet usage and even Microsoft Word if I need to write a piece of work if I am not able to get to my normal computer. I currently use the mass storage on my phone and use it like an Ipod storing all of my favourite songs just a button away so when I’m out I’m never away from my favourite music. If I was to get an upgrade I would stick to having a Blackberry I would upgrade to the new Bold or even the brand new out Blackberry Torch. 
The film industry is growing and there is now a lot of different platforms that I can view films on TV, and in cinemas but now I can view films write here on my computer screen and phone websites are now around so you can view any film you wish and massive e-libraries storing copy’s of films are there for the general public to view. I myself spend a lot of time on the computer and take full use of all the viewing of moving image productions there are on the internet. I use such services and BBC I Player and also 4 od which allow you to view for free the programmes that have been aired on the BBC and Chanel 4. I use the internet normally to look for new clothes, watch TV and connect with my friends. I do all of this on my slim Ergo computer.
I like the rest of teenagers own and Xbox which allows the player to escape from their real lives and play in a professional football game or immerse themselves in war like situations such as games like Fifa and Call of Duty. There is a service which I would like to make use of in the future called Xbox Live in which you can play against your friends on games of your choice.
In the future I would love to have a mobile phone which has everything needed on it where it does everything a smart phone does now but do stuff like project films onto screens, your car and house keys built in ect.
