What do you think of when you hear the word media?

When I hear the word media, a flurry of images comes to mind. Television, the Internet, newspapers and phones are some sources to keep one updated on the rest of the world. When I think of media, it occurs to me that people might not think of it the same way in simpler times than they do now. Throughout the years, different mediums of news and entertainment have evolved and become more abundant. Back in the day, the only media people were able to access were either oral or written in the local press. Nowadays, we have constant reminders that media is an inescapable world that infiltrates society in every aspect possible - be it smart phones, Twitter or the news, media is a force that cannot be ignored.
