Growing up with the media

My media upbringing is varied. First of all I have two younger brothers so obviously we watched alot of guy shows and movies. Being guys we looked forward to watching Monday Night Football every Monday. It was just something we did. I wouldn't say that I watched alot of TV growing up although I wasn't a book worm either. Along with all the macho testosterone infused shows on TV I also watched alot of shows my mother liked. My dad was at work all day so I was always home with Mom. She would watch I love Lucy and Mary Tyler Moore, things like that. Of course having two brothers all within 4 years of each other we obviously watched our share of cartoons, and still do I might add! 
In my life now, I would have to say that my media intake is evolved to a higher usage although in different forms. I use my MP3 player everyday. I check my email multiple times a day. I use the internet alot to get a quick check of what is going on in the world. It is quick and convienent and there is a wide source of information. I don't watch alot of TV but when I do it is usually ESPN. I keep ESPN on most of the time. ESPN sportscenter is on 24/7 so I can always get updates. 

I guess my media choices have changed to media that allows me to keep in contact with my friends and family more often. I need to stay connected with everyone so I use media that helps me do that. I think most people would agree with that in their own lives.
