When writing papers I can never type up a draft, I must always hand write it. I do this because I feel that if I type up a draft as I type I will be stuck in front of my laptop for hours because I edit my draft as I type it. Therefore I hand write it with a pencil so I can go back and add or subtract from my writing. I used ideas from my own experience and ideas I learned in class. The illustration I wrote about made me think a lot about my own experiences which made the paper something fun and good to reflect on.

This page in “The Medium is the Massage” really caught my eye after the class discussion we had about KONY 2012. Social Media ranging from online websites to television news channels have made it possible for people to know about every current event going on all around the world and it is making it hard for people to stay interested in one thing. Like when we are in a typical grocery store we sometimes are stuck in there for quite a while because although we go in with a list of items we are given many options but when you are in a wholesale store like COSTCO your options are limited but you find what you want and you buy it. With so many options in current events, we now rarely fully engage in specific current events and try to know little about everything that is going on. Not everyone in the class knew all of the specifics about KONY 2012 but almost everyone knew it existed with all the Facebook posts about it.
