Media

The internet world is fascinating, until it isn’t. Instant information, does anyone even get a paper anymore? I don’t think this access is always best. People take the information they see and run with it. Political views, personal debates, where to go, opinions, it is all right there. Even if you don’t want to see it, it’s there.

You talk about something, and now you see it everytime you log in, “it knows!” It actually doesn’t, there is several sections on all of your devices that offer to track your activity on websites and apps, that most of you leave on. As well as location services so you can use navigation and other apps. Check those under privacy, if you don’t want them toogle them off.

Mystery and sci fi, some love stories of UFO’s and Aliens, Bigfoot. Media can sensationalize everything. God forbid anyone do research, it is written, so it is true! Of course most of us look it up on the internet, because Wikipedia is right there. It is run and written by volunteers!

Have you ever tried to get rid of advertisements when you are on the web? Or get them off your newsfeed on Facebook, that is one heck of a job, almost as bad as getting rid of junk mail in your emails! I unfollowed and unliked on Facebook for an hour one morning, just to have it all back within a week.

It can be handy though. I can talk to my extended family from where ever I am. I can check in at home, to make sure I turned off the oven. I can see who is at the door. I can listen to any song, watch any show, shop, look up a recipe and check out design ideas! It has a better memory than me, and it can store the 7600 pictures I have! It is here to stay.
