Subject: Why do you consume media?

What is your main purpose for consuming media? Escapism? Do you enjoy the storytelling? Do you enjoy the characters? Perhaps do you simply enjoy flashing images on a screen or pictures in a book as a spectacle? Do you simply want music that keeps you moving? Do you enjoy the feelings that are evoked in you from media?

Why do you consume media? Games, T.V., movies, books, music, art, etc. all count as media.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

Because it's an enjoyable time-consumer.

Boredom.

I know everything, I've just forgotten most of it.

Also, my XBL Gamertag is 'Wenggh', not 'A Stolen Fruit'.

Because fun!

Why else?

Who am I?

mah twitter

I follow the news because I want to know what's going on in the world.

Everything else is just for entertainment.

If I drank that much coffee I would cry decaf.

So you simply watch it in an effort to pass time? Do you actually gain anything from what media you consume? How do you even determine what to watch/play/read/listen to?

"There's a very fine line between not listening, and not caring. I'd like to think that I walk that line every day."

I play games because I enjoy it (it's fun and entertaining).
I don't really watch TV but I enjoy watching movies for the story, same with books. To me, it's about the characters and the theme and meaning and what I can take from it and alter my own life.
Music, is more about the emotional response. When I listen to Comfortably Numb, it's -blam!- beautiful and it gets my mind going. And music can tell stories as well. It's like a condensed audiobook and it can mean whatever the hell I want it to, because I'm interpreter.

Because I am one of the advanced lifeforms monitoring your lush and beautiful planet. We float above, invisible and hidden, observing. We are trying to understand your race and determine if your species is worth saving. We learn about you by consuming your media. From your popular media we have learned that your species has almost destroyed the planet twice before, you are foolish and self-destructive.

So you would say then that media has done nothing but classically condition you to buy and consume more media? Well then, who tells you what media to buy?

The art of it.

  • 10.01.2012 11:39 AM PDT

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

Because I can.
