Media Impact

There are many faucets of media that permeate our daily life's. As we go about our tasks we are bombarded with sights and sounds that are keyed to make us want to consume. Where ever we go we can not escape the drone of the media machine. I will focus on the most crucial and aspect, the Internet. Whenever I log on to anything now a days there is always about a 30 second buffer of noise IE. ads asking me to buy this or meet that. The Internet generates revenue through advertisement, if the radio invited ad spaces then the Internet just took it to the inevitable outcome. We don't seem to mind though, I think this is due to the fact that we can block out the noise and just hit the mute button. Some sites have wised up to this and have made it mandatory. Pandora once allowed you to turn the mute button on their ads but as of lately doing that would make it so all your songs thereafter do not play. The biggest source of income for sites like Facebook and Twitter would come from their advertisements. I personally am not a fan of all the ads that permeate the cyber space but I know that upstart sites need these kinds of revenues to expand and that current franchise what to reach a new subset of consumers.
