love of storytelling, clear vivid language and respect for history is important

This CBS News cast mentions that printed news papers will soon be erased by media being so relevant is our lives. I think this is true to a point. I think the printed paper will defiantly become less frequent. I do not see the need for a printed copy to be delivered everyday, maybe just the Sunday paper. My family always paid to the paper every day but we really read the Sunday paper for the "good" comics and for the coupons or as my grandma says, for the grocery money! With all the apps on phones and the internet, I do not see the need for citizens to be paying for something we read online 9 times out of 10. 

Storytelling never gets old no matter how old you are. We grew up being told or read stories, whether it was Dr. Seuss or life stories from family members. Even now at 22 years old, I love to here stories at our family reunions about the things my mom, aunts, uncles and grandparents did when they were growing up.  

As for history, that is a whole different story for me. I see the need to learn about history, but I have never been interested in history besides WWII. Yes, kids need to be taught history and proper language in school, but I think that unless you have a desire to learn history, its not easy material to learn. 

Overall, I believe media is slowly making the need for paper copies disappear, but that is not our only way of finding out what is going on around us. If it were, then I think we would have an issue. 

1. Media Junky

Until you really stop to think about it, I don't think any of us really understand how much media and technology have over come our lives. When I have to stop and think about it when ever I get up in the morning, home from work and before bed to relax I am on my computer whether it be for facebook, school, music, email or my new pass time or pinterest which takes hours away from my day if I am not careful! Even at work though, everything is based from technology.  I am always checking emails, waiting for updates to sales or marketing and calling other stores for customers looking for sizes in something that we do not have for them.

Our phones have made media so much easier to gain access to as well. After taking the media quiz it said I was an average user. If I think about how many times at work or out running errands that I check my phone it makes me wonder what the average really is., Is the average that we are all addicts to social media now due to facebook and twitter? If this is the case I believe that we need to become more aware of our usage and change the meaning of user average!
