Oh, Media!

Mass Media. Mainstream Media. One absolutely enormous spectrum. From the day to day television we watch and the radio we listen to, to the newspapers and books we read. Yea yea, we all know what it is but what is it's function? The function of mass media can be seen as the invisible force that holds everything in place. Everything? Yes, the "everything" may seem a little ambiguous, but think about it: What shapes our personality? Our daily schedule? Our dreams, wishes, inspirations, everything? The answer is none other than the mass media that surrounds us, but it is always unnoticed. Mass media is an invisible force. It's a force that allows us to communicate and to be communicated with the factors that we have become so close to within ourselves but are so far away from, as if they are in a different dimension. But we humans rely on our mass media like a best friend; more than any other human.
But how exactly does mass media do it's thing? Well, this is what I'll be discussing in this blog. These are my interpretations and opinions of modern mass media and how we as a society are affected by it. These are not fact at all, and you may have a totally different view of the effect of modern mass media. Feel free to discuss by commenting!
