Living in media convergence era, the media becomes a part of
my daily life. I usually spend a couple hours to engage in media activities
everyday. It makes my life to become easier. For example, if I encounter some
problem, I will go to Google.com to find a solution and try it. I enjoy
different forms of media such as Skype, YouTube, Vimeo, iPhone, ebook, Google,
Facebook, and Blog, etc. I use Skype a lot. It’s very convenient for me to work
with a global team. YouTube is my favorite. I can find a bunch of tutorials to
learn whatever I want.
As a
female Chinese American, traditional Chinese culture influences me a lot.
Traditional Chinese culture sought harmony between man and the universe and
emphasized an individual's ethics and morality. In ancient Chinese culture,
people believe that artist’s work carries all messages the artist has. That is
why ancient Chinese culture emphasizes that as an artist, the most important
thing is to upgrade his or her moral standard to be a good person, a better
person. I follow my eyes and my heart to express myself with my works.
As a media
major student, my dream job is a producer or a filmmaker. The Internet offers
me great resources. For example, In Fiverr, only 5 dollars, I can hire someone
to do professional video animation, intro or promotion as well as other post
production works. That's amazing and incredible. The Internet encourages closed
communities because it has made the world becoming a global village. The more
technology develops, the more I get close to the media. Even though I realize
the side effects of the Internet, the traditional Chinese culture gives me
enough power to self-restraint.
