The media is full of information that is useful in many different ways and also many different reasons. Although most of the information is not necessary for all people, it is still open to everyone. There are a lot of things that surprise me when it comes to interactions with the media, especially the fact that there is so much information that an average person could not possibly pay attention to. If an individual really pays attention to the media then eventually the individual will start to realize, although most people do not really care, but are still affected by t ever day, whether they like it or not. It is understandable that the media has to involve a great number of information to provide for the world. The media is useful when you need it, and annoying when you do not. This is basically the best way I can describe media and my point of view.
