After completing the media bridging units I feel like I have more of an idea on what to expect in the upcoming year of taking Media AS.
Before starting the bridging units I had no intentions of starting a blog, but now after becoming more familiar with what a blog is like, it has changed my views on blogs and now I may consider with starting a personal blog. Also this has helped me in developing my independent working by letting me write my own views, reviews about certain things.
Out of all the tasks I enjoyed analysing the TV drama the most. I never normally watch any television but after watching a few shows I've come to learn that I'm missing out of a few great shows and how they have adapted to becoming better over the last few years. I am very impressed with the recent story lines of modern day television.
I did have trouble uploading pictures to my blog, which brings doubt upon Blogger, so in future Blogs I may be using different websites.
However, I am fairly confident about starting the AS media course as I was able to carry out most of the tasks without having any trouble . I have very little concerns about the future tasks ahead.

The guardian recently posted an article about 'Can Apple, Amazon and Google's new mini-tablets revive the news industry?'
The arrival of these tablets which should be small enough to slip into a pocket while travelling, yet big enough to read easily, mean a revival for the dying art of reading a newspaper (in some form) on the train or tube?
The revival of the news industry will only happen if these tablets are priced at an affordable amount in which people will go out and buy the tablets and then hopefully download news apps which they can then read on the go.

The reason I found this article interesting is because I am a fan of technology and how it is advancing with every new release and how it can help with day to day problem or certain industries have a revival.
