 * E ** . How do you think that media influences the way in which you live your life? Give examples of this.
 * 1) - It influences what I do. I might eat dinner at 5:00pm one night, but the next night I'll text or play on the computer for 3 hours and end up eating dinner at 8:00pm. It can matter in small, unnoticeable ways, or make a huge difference in my life.
