In Response to "What's New(s)?" Movies Post:
I loved Maggie's response to the movie blog, talking about how it is a social event. The movies are cool because they're social events. The movies don't make it a social event. I thought it was a very interesting way of putting it. I didn't really dig deeper into the social aspect of the movies.

In Response to "The New Piper Times" Radio Post:
Piper first started out by sharing that KDKA was the oldest radio and that it still exists today. That was a cool fact, but then she decides to dig deeper and actually look into KDKA! She decides to go and listen to KDKA broadcasts and talks about what she learned from the experience and whether or not it met her expectations. I love that she found something from a lecture that interested her enough for her to go above and beyond and actually experience it. I'm extremely impressed.

In Response to "The New Piper Times" Television Post:
I absolutely loved Piper's response to television! I was also thinking about how advertisements for movies would say they were featured in technicolor. It made me think of when Shirley Temple came out in color and you could get the DVD pack with both the color and black and white versions. I also never knew that Wizard Of Oz was the first movie to ever be in color! That is too cool! Thank you Piper!

In Response To "The New Piper Times" Courier Journal Critique 2:
I loved Piper's critique! She gave great examples of pointless journalism. She made it easy to understand that some news is only meant for specific audiences, but is publicized as if it was meant for everyone. She also made good points that if you are going to reach a specific audience you should use details and really show them why it concerns them and why it is important. Go check it out!

Second Response to TV Lecture:
My next response to the TV lecture also builds of the fact that we spend 7 hours on average watching TV every day. We learned that television promotes kids to spend more time indoors rather than playing outside. This causes a major health problems in our society. If more people are spending the majority of time indoors watching TV, they are spending less outside getting vitamin C and staying active. Inactivity is a major case of obesity. Television is a distraction from what is best for our health.

First Response To TV Lecture:
I found this lecture very interesting. The thing I found most astounding was the fact that it has ben proven average humans in the US spend 7 hours a day watching TV! That is a lot!I love TV, but that is such a negative effect it has on humans. I don't want to speak for everyone, but I know that I have so much on my plate and no time to sit around and watch 7 hours worth of TV. Even if I do watch TV, there is always something productive I should be doing with my time instead. TV is used as a major procrastination tool. Kids waste time watching TV when they should be doing homework. It is a huge distraction

In Response to WLKY's News Website:
I was looking for dirt on WLKY for my media critique, when I came to a conclusion that the majority of their stories are about recent murders. I was going to put that in my essay, but then I realized that isn't a media critique. I realized that it isn't bad thing because people should be aware of these types of things. All of these people who have lost their lives should be recognized. It also made me think about how scary and sad it is that murders have been so common. Currently, of 10-26-25, the website has 7 murder/shooting news stories on their front page. That is extremely serious. Also one of the articles talks about how 68 people in KY have been murdered so far in 2015. Why can't people just get along?

Another Response to Lecture 8- Movies
I liked learning about movies because the movie theatre is a common hangout for my friends and me. Yes, you can get movies on the internet, TV, DVDs, etc., but yet people still go to the movies regularly. I never thought anything of it until this lecture. I never really knew why I enjoyed the movies so much when there are so many other convenient ways to watch them. I realized it is to hang out with friends. If my friends and I want to get out one night, our ideal choice is a movie theatre. Also, it is a break from the outside world. Since the main goal of a movie theatre is to watch the movie, there are no interruptions with schoolwork or nagging parents. Movie theaters are a break from all responsibility which I know I cannot speak for everyone, but I enjoy that a lot sometimes. I love going to the movies, but I never realized why until this lecture.

In Response to Lecture 7: Radios
I liked learning about radios, because they are so relevant to my life. Even though they have decreased in popularity, radios are still regularly used. I do not know personally anyone who doesn't listen to the radio in the car. Also when people are on the road and cannot be home to keep up with a sports game, they can listen to it. It was interesting seeing how it grew into something so common in every car. You can also get the radio on TVs, smart phone apps, and computers. Even though the use has declined, the way they are used and different innovations of radios are evolving.

In Response to Lecture 8: Movies
The main thing that caught my eye while learning about movies was the first subject we discussed, which was who invented moving pictures. Thomas Edison tried to take credit for inventing moving pictures, but it was actually one of his workers, William Dixon. I thought for a while about situations where people have tried to take credit for certain things, or tried taken the credit off of them for different situations. I first thought about how students copy other student's homework, schoolwork, etc. This is a form of taking credit for something that isn't yours. Sometimes people explain an exact story in first person that someone else told them, but act like it is theirs. When we don't list sources on projects we are taking credit for other people's information.
I also thought about ways we try to not be credited. My favorite show is Criminal Minds. I love how sometimes the criminal tries to frame someone else for their wrong doings. So they do not get in trouble with the FBI, they try to make it look like an innocent person did their dirty deeds. However, the FBI usually is smarter than that and gets down to the bottom of the lies.
The lecture made me think about how people try to take responsibility and credit for positive actions, and the opposite for negative. It made me dig deep into my life and how innovative I've been. Have I always been responsible for MY own actions? Have I tried to take the ideas of others or act like others?
