where is media going/where is it coming from?

When asked where I find media in my life the first thing that popped into my head was the internet. Social networks like face book and twitter are the more recent sources that I use daily and chances are you when you see me, my phone is in my hand. Any type of media influence I may have is mostly off of these websites, through my friends. Constant statuses updating me on what’s going on around them or on TV saves me the trouble from having to find out myself unless I actually want to see for myself. Songs and artists that aren’t generally played on the radio are always mentioned giving me new additions to my iPod. New ideas on hair, clothing or pretty much anything relating to style is also given to me through face book especially when looking at pictures that everyone uploads. 
In a general outlook on media to the rest of the world preferably the U.S, I’d say media is becoming more and more electronic based everyday. It’s almost like robots will define our media culture one day. Nooks are the new books, our iPods are our new friend to consult to, the news is updated straight to our phones or if not someone can simply text it to you. It’s only a matter of time before all the TV we watch is in 3D. I’m surprised they haven’t made 3D video games, unless I’m behind in the loop and wasn’t aware there already is one.
