Eric Rangil

Howdy! My name is Eric Rangil and this website was created as part of an assignment for Dr. Shipman's Computer and New Media class (CSCE 445). The main reason I am enrolled in this class is because I needed to fulfill a CS elective. With that being said, I also hope to gain valuable insight and knowledge on how different types of media affect how the content is consumed as well as how the techniques have evolved.

Types of Media

On a regular basis, the types of media I use can be divided into 3 categories: text, video, and audio. In text, the main example would be checking my email. In addition, text messaging along with different forms of social media (such as Facebook and Twitter) would be included. For video, things such as television, movies, and video games would be included. As for audio, I listen to music almost everyday. Check out the chart above!

Reasons for taking this course

There were some classmates who had similar interests as to why they took this course. The "realistic" reason for some people, including me, was to fulfill a course elective for whatever they were trying to finish. However, many students wanted to emphasize that the main reason they took this course was to help them understand the different way in which media has evolved both throughout time and how it has been consumed by the people. More importantly, we would like to learn about the deepening impact of how media affects our decisions and way of thinking. Here are some classmates who share similar interests:

Similar Music Services

Many fellow classmates listen to music not only on a weekly basis, but more so on a daily basis. The services we use are mainly stream services as they do not take up memory on our phones and with an internet connection, we have access to millions of songs that we can fine tune to our liking. The services that were common were Spotify and Soundcloud. Here are some students that share the same interests:
