ENGAGE MEDIA

First let me express my opinion, teenagers now very good follow the trends and may have it, even though it is very expensive, as long as they a not outdated. For example HP Blackberry Bold affordable by teenagers, even Camera DSLR also affordable. Here~ I do not criticize their parents to buy expensive equipment for their children. If you can afford it,why not, right? If i was capable of too, i will have do the same thing like parent now this do. But!!! I'm not happy with....DSLR u capable to buy it, HP Blackberry also can,then why they said HANDYCAM HD SO EXPENSIVE!! Argh!!!! if u go to shop now, the price is almost a same with DSLR. To me, the trend DSLR put on the chest~ only a trend in Malaysia. The world trend now is bring their whatever type of video cam and shoot. Pliz parents, if you are able to buy your child all the expensive electronics stuff~ suggestla Handycam... WHY DO I SAY THAT!!!?(of coz im a videographer huhuhu) Still Photo only standing still .. but video u can get a MOTION~... now this u want to upload video very very easy and fast ... the trend now, people do not watch TV, people watch youtube ... V channel was closed because of youtube plus MTV is waiting for closing now.. we can express our feelings through video with cry~ ...we can see water fall from your eyes and people will be sad and get pity of u...pictures can express also~ why not??? BUT~ with helping by TEXT!!without text the pic will be a 1000 word...sometime make us missed communication....i want to show u right now "EngageMedia"...fight social problems and environmental damage using VIDEO!!! and it's FREEEE Also....Let me tell a bit of engagemedia based on what I know.
