Trip to MOMI

Visiting  the momi was a trip down memory lane. I kept comparing how things are now to how it was before. It is amazing how the advancement of the technology changes how an image can be seen. In the beginning of the semester at lecture the professors went over the history of camera and the development of film; seeing the actual equipment gave a new sense of admiration for the genre of film and how it continues to development through out the years. My favorite parts were seeing the old console video games, growing up my dad would teach me and buy all the "old school video games" to play and at times go to an arcade in Long Island where we can play them.  It was cool to relive that moment. Lastly, in honor of Sesame Street celebrating their 45th birthday it was so cute to see their exhibit. In my other media course I learned how public television is struggling to stay on and shows like Sesame Street which are educational (and needed in my opinion) may no longer be on air.  Let's hope in the end something can be worked out...my trip to the momi was a great learning experience, as I continue my journey in media studies I hope other courses are as interactive as this course.
