I use media every single day! Whether its my satellite television, a trip to the movie theatre, a concert, or broadway play…I pay for the media I consume by working. My paycheck obviously doesn’t all go to media, but I set aside money for entertainment purposes. I think, depending on where I am going, I do get ripped off sometimes. I think certain concert tickets are a rip off, broadway plays are a little on the expensive side, and of course-movie theaters are expensive! I just went to see a movie the other day and for my ticket, a drink, popcorn, and a candy my total came to $25.00. Now, if I were to purchase the movie on dvd to have forever, buy a drink, popcorn, and candy at a regular store, the price would be about the same, but that is to have this movie for the rest of my life, to watch as many times as I want. I value all of the media I consume, and depending on the type of media I am seeing and who it is I am seeing, I think I receive a good deal sometimes.
