Review of TIME'S 1982 Person of the Year

I believe TIME picked the computer as person of the year because it was the new, most intriguing invention on the market. At that point in time the personal computer was a bit exclusive, and with everything else going on in the world in 1982 nothing could compete with the computer. The personal computer was a success to the American people who designing programs could afford if. You could now work from home if you wanted to and save on gas. People were and more. Things were looking up for the computer in its sales especially in the corporate world, companies were buying like crazy. The statistics made were an interesting as well. I liked the question asked, will the computer change the very nature of human thought? And if so, for better or worse. Well I feel it's not even a debate, for the fact that some people will find the computer to be a great invention and the answers to their problems, where as other not many in my opinion become intimidated of the idea that a machine is smarter than their human mind when in actuality who really cares as long as the job gets done. There was another question and concern about how even though this computer is a great invention will the computer stimulate the brain's activity or, by doing so much of its work, permit it to go slack? To answer that question I would say yes in every language for the fact that the computer is correcting our grammar if it is incorrect. The comp uter will correct our spelling if it is incorrect, and so much more. Then the question in my mind rises do we really need teachers when the computer seems to be doing a great job of that already, even doing the hard work for us in a sense. We are the computer and technology age, and there is and will always be an upgrade of the latest gadget in technology. I feel as though TIME hit home on some of their predictions as far as what the computer age would bring.

Why I Am Studying Mass Communication

I am studying mass communication because it is the major that will play a great deal in my future success. People ask me all the time what are you studying in school, or what is your major, and I proudly say mass communication where I am sometime immediately shut down by a person telling me that is not a real major that's just something easy to get by. All I think to myself is some people can really be ignorant simply not knowing that just because I may not be studying to be a doctor or lawyer that does not mean my major is not important to say the least. I feel that some people are ignorant and make ignorant comments just because they don't know ofcourse and simply don't understand. That's where the GREAT ME comes to play. I nicely let them know that if there wasn't a such thing as mass communication they probally wouldn't have a life LOL u missed that. See mass communication plays a GREAT role in everyday life from watching that television show that that we just can't get enough of to that radio that we stay bumping in the car, and sooooooo much more see some one has to do it yes some one, and thats where all the GREAT mass communication majors come in. See we care about the world, therefore we provide entertainment to the public. We are sports reporters, critics, the news, radio personalities, television hosts, producers, and again soooooooooo much more. Then I think to myself again if it wasn't for aspiring people like myself and those that came before me who loves and adores just the thought and even ides of mass communication you wouldnt have a life. Then I dare u to down grade my major if your balls are big enough.

*******Untill next time******
