Oral tradition decrease, Television choices, and Media literacy

I think that oral tradition will definitely decrease in the future because of how all stories are now being put on the internet. Right now there are some stories that are still given through oral tradition mainly stories about people's families not huge events that happened in history. Throughout the course of history oral tradition has decreased because of newspapers, computers, TV's, radios and other devices because they have been able to spread news quickly in a short period of time. I think eventually in the future though there will be no oral tradition.

The TV shows I choose are based on my hobbies and shows I can relate too. I also choose to watch TV shows if someone who as the same interests as me recommends it because then I will probably enjoy watching it. My choices are somewhat thoughtful I suppose. I usually watch videos based on the popularity of them, if I keep seeing the same video pop up in multiple places I would probably be more likely to watch it then a random one that no one has watched. I usually choose movies if they are based on the book because I like to read the book and then compare it to the movie. I also choose movies if when I watch the commercial and it seems like an interesting movie. I don't usually put a lot of thought into watching videos but with movies I think more about them.

I think that I am pretty media literate just because our generation has so much access to social media apps. My parents aren't as media literate because they grew up not having a lot of the technology today. They didn't have social media sites to be able to communicate and receive news quickly. My best friend would probably be just as media literate as I would be because we have both grown up with the same technologies. Weaknesses of being media  literate would be that you pay too much to media and don't spend your life without having media surroundings your everyday life.
