My name is Diego Velasquez. I am from Bogota, Colombia. I took the risk of going far away from home for one simple reason; play college golf and work hard towards fulfilling my ultimate dream; be a professional golfer. I am a junior in New Media and so far it hasn't dissapoint me, I have actually enjoyed and learned more that I thought I would.
My media consumption is basically cable, internet and newspapers. ESPN is my favorite channel not only for the sport programs but also for it's interesting commercials. CNN, CNN in spanish and BBC are my favorite news channels and at least three times a week I turn to them. I check out my home countries newspapers online to stay updated. I have started to read the newspaper more instead of using the web to read news. Also I tend to skim through a lot of sports magazines because they usually have great articles and catchy propaganda.
As far as my social networking, I use facebook but I'm not addicted to it like many people are. I extremely dislike myspace by the way. I tend to text a lot, I think is an easy and fast way to communicate. I have never twitter or blogged. However that's about to change and I am really looking forward to it.
I got into new media simply because I love the medium in which we live and interact. The many different type of ways people communicate and the way new media it's so influential in tody's world. I hope to get out of this class with strong tools for writing that will help get my point across in a clear way, to push and promote the information I'm providing in an effective way. Also, I want to be more confident and comfortable while speaking in public or conversing with another person involved in the media.
