Albums I cant stop listening to

time based media

As technology advances things get smaller and smaller and capable of holding increasingly larger amounts of memory. In 20 years time technology has drastically evolved. Due to its rapid growth it has progressively become more and more embedded in our everyday lives.

Time based media is made to make our lives easier, whether it is by cutting down on the time it takes look something up, do research, or to just entertain your self. Time based media allows us to go places and experience new things in a matter of seconds. When something is broken or or I don't know how to do something I just look it up on Google or YouTube and i get instant step by step instructions on how to do or fix it.

The down side of time based media is that we as humans are losing basic skills like writing and memory. Our personal devices are making those functions obsolete. However, this is notthing new. Throughout the evolution of mankind we have gained new abilities and in doing so lost many others.

When I'm doing homework online it is very easy to get distracted (I'm on Facebook, watching Paranormal State, and texting as I write this post) I try to combat distractions but more often then none I give in. To create a focused environment I sit on my bed and listen to music, that seems to help me concentrate.
