Texting

      Personally I love texting. I think most people my age do too. I text a lot! I would say the only time I'm not texting is when I'm sleeping. There are many more other sources of communication other than texting. For example, email, phone calls, and other social sites on the internet. I prefer texting because its the fastest and easiest way to get a hold of somebody. It can be very brief and straight to a point and they will receive it right away. Technology has advanced tremendously throughout the years and it just has became easier and easier to contact people. Texting has became part of most peoples life's in our society. it does have its pros and cons.  Like I mentioned before it is a great way of fast communication, but it can also b a distraction for many. I've seen my bill and how many times I text a month, most of those texts are one word long! sometimes its not even a word its just a simple happy face. Car accidents have increased since texting became such a big deal in our society. It has became a distracting, but it is also necessary to communicate. I do believe we abuse the method of texting, but what can I say I do love texting.

Reality TV

          As a part time student and having a full time job I have no time for television! If I ever watch TV I must be really bored or just passing through my living room while someone else is watching it. I cannot sit and watch TV unless I’m watching a movie. Before when I had more time on my hands I use to watch a lot of reality TV. To me they were very entertaining, but as they kept coming up with more and more shows it just became annoying. One of the shows I use to watch a lot was the Jersey Shore show. I would not miss any of their episodes, I remember staying up all night every Thursday just to watch it. As that season ended they started coming up with the second season and the third and the rest of them, it just became very annoying. It was the same thing over and over again, just in a different country. Another show I enjoyed watching was sixteen and pregnant. I know a lot of girls relate to this show in this case I personally don’t, but it was interesting to see their life’s and how much they struggled. There are so many teen moms out there struggling and trying to do the best for their children that may be this show makes them feel better and not alone. It makes them feel some relieve and it gives them the knowledge to know they’re not the only ones going through this. Keeping up with the Kardashians was another show I never missed. At this point I don’t watch it at all; it’s just ridiculous to me. They seem so money hungry and are not showing their viewers anything productive. I feel like their teaching others to be materialistic and selfish.  People are just so fake. I would say their just selfish and want attention. Every time they come up with a new show somehow sex and violence have to be involved all the time. I don’t think these shows are helping our society one bit. I think their harming it in every way possible. These shows just give people ideas and people just want to fit in. Since they try to fit in they try to dress and act more like them. There is no benefit on watching these shows other than being entertained for a couple of hours. Our society gets worst by the minute with all the violence going around. I think reality TV plays a big role on people’s actions and beliefs. Now that I’m older I realize all these shows are no good for anybody. I try to avoid these shows as much as possible and watch something else. Like I said before I enjoy watching movies instead. At least by watching a movie you might learn something or see things from other points of view. As you grow older you grow wiser and you notice a lot of things you never noticed before.
