Culture Jam - Autumn

Culture jam is divided in to tree sections the first section is Autumn. As i started reading this section of the book the first thigh that came to my mined was one of my new year resolution. My number one resolution for 2014 was to enjoy the real world. The more i read the more i realized how i really need to work on enjoying the real world and the little things that happen weal we are to busy taxing or on some kind of social media. We interact with our Friends on facebook or twitter than we do in real life. the writer mentions that we no longer live in the real life we live in a virtual life. That is so true specially with young people. In my case i feel like sometimes i worry about things i shouldn't. For example, if i see something beautiful the first thing i do is take out my phone and take a picture of it, that alone takes me around five minutes to get a good picture. After that i look for the right filter or effect that makes my picture look perfect then i post it up on instagram. That entire process takes me about 15 minutes in those 15 minutes i totally missed the beauty of the moment, so i completely understand the massage that the writer is trying to send in this section. 

 In this section Kalle also talks about how mass media controls our minds. i have never thought about it, but its true. I had a duh moment half way trough the section when Kalle talks about the show "Americas funniest home videos." why do we laugh of the at this videos when the things that happen to the people on the videos are things that hurt them that might even result in an injury, but yet me laugh instead of feeling sorry for them. this just proves how culture is no longer shape by nature but by electronic mass media. We want to be skinny because models are skinny. We want that new car because our favorite actor has it. You don't see kids out playing any more because most of them are inside playing video games. I agree with Kalle so far we are no longer connected with nature we are more connected with the Media.
