During the school day, we interact with media through using computers, reading books, watching powerpoints, painting canvases, and looking at informational posters around the school. We also use and interact with media at home when we read the newspaper, watch TV, listen to the radio, and serf the internet. without realizing it, we are surrounded by media. the houses we live in were built with architectural designs and that is media. the clothes we wear were advertised by enterpreneurs through posters, flyers and even text messages. Media is even used to make the packages we get our food in. Cereal boxes are designed by media and then used to attract consumers to buy that cereal.
