Time magazine's 1982 person of the year ( The Computer)

A personal computer is every one's side kick. In 1982 Americans love for television and automobiles would be pushed to the side, now that computers were taking charge in technology. Now, we do not have to choose between the three. We can have TV's and computers in our vehicles all at the same time. That goes to show all of the assumptions for computer greatness was proven true throughout time.In Time magazine's person of the year article, it mentioned the computer would become a common place making life better and easier.
I can say, as a witness in the 28 anniversary of the fad about the beginning of the computer the predictions were correct. It helps everyone in big ways as far as: running a business, stocks, technology, tax returns, check processing, government operations and corporations just to name a few of the many categories the computer is involved in.
Back in 1982 Time magazine feared humans would put themselves in danger for unemployment and
dehumanization. Yes, that has proven to be true also,throughout the 28 years, the computer has taken over many lives due to different programs that can become addictive. Such as video games, chat rooms, and instant messaging. Although the computer is seen as an destruction of the human mind much good comes with it.
Education was said to rise 68%. Which i feel now it exceeds that percentage because of the learning capabilities in helping children learn in a virtual learning environment seeing and learnig quickly in the classroom. It's obvious that the computer wasn't just a has been I can say its become more of an automatic lifestyle. So much in our everyday lives consist of a computer. The jouranlist must have had a time machine to know how great a computers affect would be in today's society.

Why I'm Studying Mass Communications

I am studying Mass Communications because I'm interested in what it deals with. This field has so many different paths to take ,and I feel as if i can do well in all the aspects of mass communications. What caught my eye for mass communications was when i was interviewed at a local tv satation in Memphis. I noticed a young lady with a headset running the floor. I do well when someone tells me what to do, then I'll tell others basically controlling the news broadcast. I also have a passion for photography, and the fashion industry. i would like to one day work at a fashion magazine or a clothing company, working with putting together the magazine and advertising the magazine or fashion line. Another asperation is becoming a host on ET Tonight, i love everything about that show it has style, taste, and great reporting. I have to admit i have quite a few things to work on to keep my dream alive. Since I began college I have improved, and i hope to continue to improve making my way to the top fullfilling all of my dreams.
If you click on my hyperlinks you will notice I have some type of experience in front of the camera, advertsing a hair product. Let's note I was in high school when the commercials were created, that is when i discoverd my interest in that particular field.
Enjoy!
