Discussion

In this forum, tell us about how media, technology and the corporate world influence your life. What types of media/technology are in your life everyday, which do you rely on, spend the most time with, wish you could do without, etc? How does it feel to be part of a consumer world? When are you made aware of your own habits as a consumer? How do you make decisions about what media and technology you spend your money on/spend time using? How do you make decisions about what companies you purchase items from or what businesses you shop from?

Review your own social media accounts. What do you think they tell the world about your values, happiness, beliefs? What do they tell you about your values, happiness, and beliefs? Then, evaluate the positive and negative aspects of such influence in your life. Are you in a place where you are content with the balance of these influences? (Note: if you do not have any social media accounts, you can look at a social media account of a large company or organization of your choice).
