Hello blog followers!
My name is Heather. I’m a sophomore studying marketing at Champlain College, in Burlington, Vermont. Here is a piture of Champlain College!

I am from Essex Junction, Vermont, so Burlington is a place that I am pretty familiar with! During the 3 week break from school one media experience I had was getting a new iPod. It’s an iPod touch so there are so many things that it can be used for other than just listening to music! Once I got the iPod I immediately began synching my music from my computer, and explored all the different apps that I can use. It’s amazing how much iPods have changed in just a few years…
The 21st century media culture makes it easy for people to stay in touch and communicate with each other anywhere in the world. Email, Facebook, and smartphones are just a few examples of the ways we can communicate. Although having so many ways to communicate with people is great, one downside is that people can become too attached to the technology they use and forget about face-to-face interactions. There is so much to learn about technology and how to use it, especially in the career world. That’s why I am here at Champlain College. To learn about how the ways of communication can be used for a career in marketing. In the future I hope to use everything I have learned here and work for a big company in the marketing department.
