The Blue Whale Game

Decent Essays
I learnt that media is a good thing that makes our life so easier, but I hate to use things like facebook and whatsapp. I think it is about what I heard other people saying about them, other thing is that every time I see people be on cell phone. I remember a certain lady who was suspended from work because of whatsapping at work ignoring the clients.
Television makes me to get more information about disadvantages of other media which our children often use.

    1. The media I use the most is television, while print is my least used form of media. This is what I had expected, since I rarely feel the desire to sit down and just read during the school year, I’d rather watch several television episodes. Relaxing on my bed or couch watching TV or Netflix sounds like a more enjoyable evening, instead of sitting at my desk reading boring textbooks for physics. Plus, I traveled home this weekend and all of my recorded shows were ready to be watched, since there is no DVR on the television in my dorm, therefore I had to view them before they’d be deleted.…

    Sternheimer writes this article in order to prove the misconception that video games are the cause of murders, is in fact a farce, and there are statistics to back her opinion up. Sternheimer argues that there are other defining factors that cause murders, and video games are the last thing people should be worried about.

    Clay Shirkey in “Why I Just Asked My Students to Put Their Laptops Away,” and Serena Elavia in “The Collective Conscience of Reality Television,” both agree that what the people want, the makers of social media, and distractions are brought to the surface with the use of each other. Shirkey states that mobile devices are the biggest distraction in the classroom, so much that he has even banned all of his students from bringing them into his classroom (209-214). Elavia states that the producers of reality television shows, show what the people want to see (220-222). Both authors agree on the fact that each of these emerging issues come hand in hand. The makers of social media platforms play a big role in both of the articles.…

When I asked some friends if they thought that television brought…

    Social media has impacted our society and social interaction in a huge way. I hope that we can get more advanced in the future. I hope that we can keep up with our social interaction, even if and when our technology gets more advanced.
