How do you and your family interact with media/technology?
Generally, I use technology everyday on my own but my family and I do not interact very much on social media. Often times, we watch TV together as a family. My family and I do not play video games together either, I usually play against my friends online.
How do you and your peers interact with media/technology?
Sometimes I play online with my friends over Xbox live and mobile device videogames. On social media, I message and talk with my friends all the time. We like to share memes and other funny popular posts. I don’t post much on social media, but I do enjoy messaging my friends.
What do you use media for?
I use media for entertainment and learning new information. For example, I like to watch history videos on YouTube to learn new stuff. Video games are a stress reliever because I can escape into an imaginary world and it’s a distraction from everyday life. I also enjoy playing video games and going on social media because it increases my overall happiness.
What is your favorite/least favorite thing about media/technology?
My favorite thing about media and technology is that it allows for greater communication and creativity. A lot of games go into interesting concepts and landscapes that I would not otherwise be able to experience. My least favorite thing about media/technology is when my parents post things about me and everyone can see it.
