Get the Pixels

For the past few months I have been hearing so much about media. In my religion classes, in my ward, and also among my friends. It has sparked some pondering in my mind about how much time I spend connected to internet, movies, and music. All of these parts of media are not always bad. Much education comes from these aspects! I just sometimes feel that we could be better at looking at the bigger picture. The reason why I bring this up is because I see so many people on campus with earbuds in and they ignore the things around them. I know some people cannot function without music, and that is fine. I just wish more people would smile when I smiled at them, I wish they would respond when I said hello. Maybe I'm asking too much, but am I? I just don't want people becoming subject to media, having media control their life. I just feel like media could have the tendency to control everyone like robots.....I know, I know that is a far stretch. I have been pondering probably too long, but it is something I feel needs to be addressed. What do you think?
