Journal # 3 : Media Mashup

In our everyday life, we use many things that are can be used for many different tasks therefore categorizing it as a hybrid object. With all of these kinds of products being available to absolutely anyone of any age, the society today becomes so impatient and looking for more and more ways to live a faster way of life. We start to look for ways to make our lives so much easier and most even look for ways to be able to get what they want in a faster and effortless way.

Being able to purchase all of these hybrid products it is hard to resist since it helps to make my life easier and more effortless. These hybrid products helps me to use one thing for many different uses which helps me a lot with my daily life. Throughout my whole day, I use many different hybrid products. It all starts from the time my day begins. My alarm clock helps me wake up but at the same time it can give me music or any news from the radio. As my day goes on, I often receive phone calls from different people as I take my daily route to school. The same phone that my friends or my parents call can also be used to listen to music or many other uses like a calculator, a clock, or txt messaging just to name a few. At the same time, I use my ipod to listen to music while I am on the bus on my way to school which can also be used to store documents and files like school work. During my days, I can use many different items that can be considered as hybrid. Mostly everything I use today can be considered as hybrid since companies are now making many more products that can do more than one thing.

Most of these products that I have the luxury to use are products that I would probably not be able to live without. Many of these items help me do my daily routine and help me have an easier and enjoyable life. It takes a lot of stress of having problems with doing things or the stress of not being able to do anything. However, it is not just the person who makes these items so important. I think society has evolved so much that life would be hard and can be "impossible" to some people to live. These hybrid items have become such a big part of our life that it can be considered as an icon to some people.
