Critical Reflection.
1)I've decided to choose 'Television'.Television is an important form of communication and has been for many years.Many people own a television for many reason.From this type of media, we can have live information about the several events like sports and any other good or bad events happening on the globe.Television also provide a good channel for educational, scientific, historical and political programs which is very interesting and informative (e.g National Geographic, Discovery channel, History channel etc.) .We may get detailed news and information from television all the time.
2)I think, television got many usage.Security personnel also use televisions to monitor buildings, manufacturing plants, and numerous public facilities.It is very useful media in this era.But, television have a bad effects also.Not all programs or any show seen on TV are good. Selection of the right ones to watch is advisable. For health risks, TV emits radiation.Too much radiation that the body absorbs is as we all know BAD and may end up to a more serious diseases. Not to mention the eye problems also people get.

Personal Reflection
~In this week Media Culture class, lecturer gave us an explanation about the topic "The Extansion Of Man" .Lecturer gave an information about Mcluhan's theory. Besides, i've learn about hot and cold of media which combine with the Tetrad of media. This is very interesting topic, but its a bit complicated. By the way, i've enjoyed learning this topic.
