Media Autobiography

In the world, there are different types of mass media which affect our lives every moment. They are the channels of us to get information, news, knowledge, etc. The main 8 types of mass media are books, newspapers, magazines, movies, recordings, radio, television and internet. I need media to know things around me and the world, especially: books and internet.
Internet is becoming much more important than the past. It is the fastest way to spread the latest information compare with other 7 types of mass media. You can discuss and share different things through internet. You can always see different views from people around the world. Although internet becomes the main channel to update news and information, I still like reading books and newspaper every day. Beside I get use to them, it is hard for me to use computer for whole day. I can read my books or newspaper everywhere and every time, however I need to find a place to link me to the internet. It is a bit inconvinent. Also, the information in the internet is only data which cannot keep for a long time. I may lose the webpage or files easily in the internet. Books may not have these kind of problems. However, different kinds of media have their advantages.
I have a habit of listening to the radio, reading magazines and watching television shows and movies mainly in Hong Kong, Japan and USA. As i need to improve my Japanese and English, I need to read and listen more.
Different types of mass media are affecting our lives and world. They are developing in different ways rapidly. We cannot live without media if we need to communicate with people around you!
