Media Autobiography

I started getting in touch with the media at a very young age because I remember watching Power Rangers when I was around 3 years old. Watching TV is probably my earliest memory that I have with the media and it was probably the most influential to my life out of the eight types of mass media. I remember going outside and pretending I was a power ranger with my friends and that was what we used to talk about all day. I also remember begging my parents to buy the power ranger toys and VHS movies because the hype surrounding power rangers had me wanting to buy all their products at a very young age.
As I started going to school, I started becoming familiar with other forms of media such as reading books, newspapers, and magazines since I was 5. Although it was fun reading cartoons and books nothing compared to watching television. As time went on I started becoming familiar with the Radio and the Internet. The internet is probably at a close second at playing an influential role in my life. I use the internet on a daily basis and my life would probably be a lot different without because I’m able to communicate to friends and family all the world.
I know that my future job would involve me using the media because I plan to be a business major and I know that I will have to eventually market my product. I plan to learn more about the most effective advertising methods from this class and I want to be able to communicate effectively with the media when the time comes in the real world.
