I am starting this blog for one of my classes at Brigham Young University. The class is Media, Family, and Human Development. I was expecting this class to be all about the negative effects media has on the family, and ways to combat this war we are in. I, like most people, think of media as negative. I believe that most of us would not admit the amounts of TV, tablets, iPads, & all other technology devices we allow kids to use, or we ourselves use. We associate it with being LAZY, right?
I was happily surprised though when the professor asked everyone to say their favorite TV show. What? Are we openly admitting that some of us watch TV. I still thought I don't, but I'll say my favorite movie because occasionally I do that.
My teacher started and said one of her favorite shows was Gilmore Girls. I was shocked! I thought one who studied & researched media for 8+ years would say the History or Discovery channel. Why waste your time on that show or so I thought...
My goal with this blog is to open up everyone's eyes on the importance of media and how we should be open to admit we are heavily saturated in it. We need to find out how to use it for good. There is good in all things, find it and do something with it.
Go Do Good.
