My name is Abraham, but you can me Abe. In college we learn to never take a question at face value. So when our teacher asks us who we are, we know it's not a dating/Facebook profile type of question. I am majoring in both English and Emerging Media hoping to get into a job either in  the ever expanding internet (Google) or the increasingly popular social media (anything except Facebook). I really don't have any experience in this field, but that's why I am in college. I'm also very active in Hunter being in many clubs including USG. Being a juror senator I've to be following the news. I normally get my media consumption from many outlets. I get my news from DailyNews.com, The Times, and Twitter. I get my entertainment news from IGN.com, IMDB, Yahoo.com and twitter. And other news I get from looking around the web and twitter.  



When I was in class on Saturday I thought about woman and the internet and I found these images. The internet has never been kind to woman, but as time goes by woman are becoming more accepted and even becoming a dominant force on the internet according to this site. The internet like other media outlets change with time and so do the people using it. I hope to get alot of this class and see how women are portrayed and viewed on the media and how I can do my part to change that.
