 * A**. By considering your answers to the above, give two important characteristics that mass media products have in common:
 * 1) - They advertise or give information about something
 * 2) - They include pictures or images for maximum information

Why do you use it? I use my iPod touch for entertainment and information. I use it to listen to music or play games, and I can use it to defin a word or to read.
 * B**. Name one mass media product that you consume regularly at least once a week.

I can not live without my cell phone. It keeps me connected with everyone and if I need to contact someone, I can use my phone. If I need information or just to talk I have the power to do that with just the press of a button. Without my phone, I won't be able to know what's going on and I won't get important information I need.
 * 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.

Media influences things that we purchase or buy. If we want to see a movie and look up ratings and comments we can see how popular it was and if it was good or bad. People can post comments and vote on what they like. If a product is really popular online and we see movie stars wearing/using it in a show then everyone will want it. It's good that everyone can voice their ideas and opinions.
 * D**. How do you think that media influences the way in which you live your life? Give examples of this.
