Media Paper

So I take some sort of Media course. I've probably been to it twice this whole semester and have no idea what the course even covers. I haven't bought the textbooks yet even though tomorrow is my last day of class. So I had to write this 10 page paper on God knows what and I just made up a whole lot of Crazy and spewed it onto some paper. If this class was called "Incoherent Schizophrenic Ramblings" I would probably get an A. Here is my intro and outro like a rap CD. I'm particularly proud of my outro. The paper is titled, "A.D.D. U.S.A"

P.S. I dont believe in proofreading or spell check. You either know it or blow it.

INTRO:

You see it everywhere you look. Americans walking in a hypnotic state with eyes locked on their cell phones. People walking down the street yelling at nothing with a blue-tooth device in their ear. Someone struggling to steer their car, barely staying in their lane, while trying to text message the very important and urgent question of, “Wat R U Doing 2Nite?” People spending hours upon hours watching a man getting hit in the testicals on Youtube. A kid who’s day mostly consists of shooting people to death in his favorite video game; and the rest is spent watching people getting shot on the television. What is technology doing to this country? Between the television and the internet, most children are exposed to just about everything by the age of 14. There is no more need for the “The Birds & The Bees” talk, when the child has already probably seen “The Girl & The 4 Guys”. What long term effect is all this having on our psyches? It physically has also effected us as America is the most obese nation with exercise and activity at an all time low. How has this advancement in technology effected the way people form relationships and interact with other humans. Has it de-humanized us? Has it negatively effected our attention spans, diagnosing America with A.D.D.? In this paper I will examine these topics and really examine what technology is doing to this country. Besides for all the positives that come with it, what are the negatives?

OUTRO:

So has technology led this country to be a bunch of obese, lazy, violent, A-D-D infected, ignorant, perverts? Some might say yes. Others might say it has expanded our life spans, helped our communication, and provided us with a vast wealth of knowledge. I feel the key is to find a good middle ground in your use of technology and the media. Don’t let your world be consumed by gizmos and gadgets and other words starting with “G” that mean the same. Don’t forget that you are human and humans need interaction with each other. Maybe instead of listening to your iPod or checking e-mails on your blackberry, strike up a conversation with that stranger sitting next to you on the bus. They usually don’t bite. Don’t forget to live in the here and the now. Live in a world of mountains, tree’s, and blue skies… not a world of wires, controllers, and blue tooth’s.
