I use the Internet everyday for several different reasons. I own 3 different e-mail accounts, one for personal use which Is a hotmail account, one for college use which is under the colleges own domain and one for my band which is with gmail. I own a twitter account but I never use it. I own and facebook account and I also have a page on facebook for my band. My band also has a bandcamp account and a myspace account, both of which I use and update regularly. I regularly use the bbc website for finding out the news and the weather. The most frequently use the search engine Google to find websites that I want. I watch videos on youtube frequently for entertainment.
Stuart Halls encoding and decoding theory is relative to me through the films and tv that I watch. All films and tv comment on the social and cultural background of which either when the film is made or when it is set, and I may or may not agree with what the producer says. This can be seen in other media such as newspapers, book and magazines. Blumler & Katz, Uses and Gratifications Theory is not relevant as the films that i watch i watch as escapism, as a form of entertainment, i do not watch to compare with my life. David Guauntlett and the Pick 'n' Mix reader i can see as being relevant to other people as people do watch TV programmes and read magazines that tell you what to wear and how to live your life, i choose not to watch these programmes or read these magazines.
