Why do you use it?
 * B ** . Name one mass media product that you consume regularly at least once a week.

One mass media product that I consume at least once a week is my phone. I use my phone because it's a great, fast, and easy way to communicate with others. If I have a question for one of my friends, I can text them and they'll reply back. I think it makes life easier.


 * C ** . Is there any media product that you feel you could not live without? If so, say what it is and why it is so important to you.

One media product that I couldn't live without is TV. I watch TV a lot. There's a lot of really good shows on that I am addicted to watching. You could sit down with a snack and watch your favorite show. It's important to me because the shows that I watch are so good.

 * E ** . How do you think that media influences the way in which you live your life? Give examples of this.

Media influences my life in so many ways. I use media every day. It influences what I do in my free time. Since I can use media to talk to friends, that's what I do. If we didn't have media than I wouldn't be able to talk to friends. Media influences a good portion of my life, because if I have the media, than I'll use it.
