de⋅pend⋅ent: relying on someone or something else for aid, support, etc.
Me personally, am dependent on my cellphone, my Ipod, keeping up with the latest celebrity gossip and the latest fashions. If someone were to ask me if i needed those things for support, I'd say no. I don't need those types of media to survive, but they have become almost obsessions in my life. Since I got it for Christmas, my cell phone has never left my side. If it's not in my pocket, I feel like something is missing, which is strange because I'm definitely all here. :)
in·de·pen·dence: The state or quality of being independent.
Reality can disappear with just a click of a button. The television can take you out for dinner, to Las Vegas or to the beach. You can tune into news around the world just by pressing a button. I have found that as technology grow and becomes more complex, I don't need to watch TV to do exotic things. Compared to when I was little, I watch less TV then I did back then. My independence from this type of media taken a large toll on my lifestyle. I no longer sit inside for hours on end, and I am more active because I have found other ways to feed my media needs.
