Hey, my name is Casey Moore. I’m from Clinton, New Jersey, a nice town in rural Hunterdon County. One thing to know about people from my part of Jersey is that they love their state but hate the stereotypes that come with living here. I think the majority of people who read this would know what I’m talking about. =)
My favorite media experience over break had to have been seeing Avatar in an IMax theatre in NYC with some friends. The movie itself was great, but the IMax component made it simply amazing. If anyone has yet to see a movie in one, I highly recommend it. I’ve yet yet to figure out how they work as well.
The thing I love most about 21st century media and the devices that go with it is also the thing I hate most. I’m talking about being available to anyone else on the planet at any second of the day, i.e. cell phones, texting, twitter, and any other ripoffs of those mentioned above. There is rarely time to be by one’s self when you’re constantly connected to the rest of the world. I currently use a BlackBerry, and although the availability of internet and other apps is only a click away , I feel that privacy is slowly diminishing! Where and when is the encroachment of cell phone use going to stop?
When people ask me what I’m going to do in the future, either professionally or personally, I prefer not to go into specifics because I enjoy not knowing exactly where my life is going to take me. I’m studying Environmental Studies and I plan to go to law school to integrate the two, but the world might have other plans for me. Only one way to find out...
