My Relationship with Media

In today's world it's impossible to not take notice to the immense amount of media presented to us. Media is an impressionable force to me, everywhere I go now, there's always a billboard or some type of advertisement in my face. Being your typical high schooler I have all the social media sites like Instagram and Twitter. And while scrolling through them I can't help but take notice to all the ads and products presented to me, that want to me to buy or listen to what they want me to. This probably being the biggest impact of media. When an add is presented to us it tends to always imply they want us to buy some product. And they do this by continuously showing the same product over and over again, and making you want it. You can't escape ads, when all you want to do is watch a TV show, there's an ad there, now it seems like the show itself is mainly ads and less plot of a show. Or when you want to listen to music you turn on the radio, oh wait another ad being played to you, and you have to listen to five ads before you actually get to listen to the actual song. I'm not going to lie advertisements do impression my decisions and such, I do fall victim when I'm presented with something on TV and instantly want it, simply because of a 30 second commercial. So you ask for my relationship with media, well it's the same as many others, highly annoyed by the immense amount and yet highly impressionable, and the consumer with the will to buy it.
