A mass media product that I feel i couldn't live without is my i pad because my i pad contains a lot of personal accounts and it connects to the internet. It has my Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Email accounts therefore I really depend on my i pad to easily access the "online world". It also contains a lot of valuable pictures from old and new family memories. Not to mention, my i pad has internet access so it's a useful mass media product to have on the go.

Media influences the way in which I live my life by making it so much more simple. For example, when I forget or need help with something, I can easily just go on my computer or i pad to search the internet and find useful sources. Another example is the daily news on television. On the news, it informs me about the important things to know about what's happening in life right now.
