Hello Everyone, my name is Faye and I’m from Brooklyn, New York, but have also lived in Seattle, WA as well as Japan, where my father is from. A fun media experience I had during my holiday vacation was going to watch a conversation between Naomi Klein and Raj Patel at the New York Society for Ethical Culture. I went with my whole family and boyfriend on this really cold night, and it was free so there was an incredibly diverse and dynamic audience that was really fun to be a part of. Afterwards we ran into a few people that we knew and had coffee and it got me pretty pumped to come back to UVM this semester. Otherwise we did a lot of outdoor activity so not a lot of media was involved, and I just wasn’t too impressed with Avatar. One thing I like about media today is the sharing capability, and the ways in which it can bring any number of people together to share an experience in real life. One thing I don’t like is its unhealthy addictive tendencies that seem to mesmerize the masses, and how people create more “relationships” with a screen than they do with real faces. In the future I have a vision of either becoming an outdoor educator or an artist of some kind or both or a professional surfer.
