I think we are all consumers of media, with or without accepting and/or embracing this fact. Many people are constant consumers. I don’t know if I exactly understand the question posed. If I do, there are more and more opportunities in an emerging career field. I read blogs constantly by people who are paid for there good old fashioned opinions. Just taking a brief look at someones myspace or facebook page, gives you an almost instant glimpse to what kind of person they are. There is always that small section somewhere on a page with an occupation heading. What you choose to put on there is completely up to you. Lie and say you work for the government and make $250,000. The videos one decides to embed on their page can say much about a person. They may have something humorous, a music video of a favorite song. I have read of bands being discovered from their post on youtube. They wanted to share something they were passionate about, and it completely paid off.

I enjoyed the third video the best. Had a great unexpected ending. I especially liked how the time changed; the walls fading in over other walls, and the people changing into their past selves.
