Notecards (Blog #1)

In the notecard interviews I conducted, the different peoples answers varied. The differences were do to knowledge of what media is, and overall use of media. My mom seemed to know a lot about media. She admitted to using it often as a news source. My dad didn't know a lot about media. After I told him what the deffinition was, he told me that he enjoyed the entertainment of TV news. He liked media that was enjoyable rather than boring things. My younger sister was not as reliable on media as my parents. She enjoyed movies and music, but said that if she didn't have media it wouldn't matter. My grandpa was very informed about media, and seemed to rely on it heavily. His favorite media is the newspaper, because he can pick out the stories he wants to learn about. Overall the age groups and different knowledge levels really contributed to the impact that media had on these poeples lives. It was interesting to hear about how media can affect different people in different ways.
