#23 Media changing Society

As I look back at how much things have changed it amazes me.
The only newspaper that I ever pick up is the Scroll and that's because I have to read it for one of my classes. I can't remember the last time I got my national news from a physical newspaper, everything I ever read is from google news online.
Also, I can't remember the last time I did research in the library. Now when I have to research something for a project I use online data bases or the internet for basic information.
I was talking to my dad the other day about how much the mass media and life has changed since he was in college like 30 years ago.
He was telling me that when he was a student back in the day people made money typing papers for people. To me that is crazy! I've known how to type and use a computer since I was like seven. And now, I know seven year olds who have iphones and cooler technology than I do! It is so interesting to see how much things have changed in even the last 10 years.
