First Post!

I’m excited to get started with this class. The world is saturated with media, and I often find myself going into system overload. I am hoping with this class to learn about the evolution of media and maybe some tools on  how to navigate it. I find the ways we communicate with each other and the world around us fascinating, and that’s what media is all about!
I’ve always been interested in photography, and I’ve never really thought about the impact it’s had on communication and social progress (or a lack thereof). It manages to be a very personal thing for me while also connecting me to other people; I’ve often felt awkward at parties and it gives me something to do! It will be interesting to read other people’s takes on it, and learn more about its evolution into what it is now.
