 * A**. **By considering your answers to the above, give two important characteristics that mass media products have in common:**
 * 1) -They all should inform the reader.
 * 2) -They all are in some way news stories.


 * B**. **Name one mass media product that you consume regularly at least once a week.**
 * Why do you use it?** One product that I use regularly is my cell phone. I use it a lot because it is the only way I can keep in touch with my friends in the other class that I cannot see at school.

The products that I feel I can not live without are my cell phone and my television. I use my cell phone to talk to my friends about things I cannot talk about at school, and I use my T.V to keep up with the latest Spongebob episodes.
 * 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.**

I do not think that media makes to much of an impact on my life (besides my cell phone and t.v) because I try not to use electronics to much in my day because I have come to rely mostly on my life.
 * D**. **How do you think that media influences the way in which you live your life? Give examples of this.**
