How do you and your family interact with media/technology?
My mom and I both have phones and some social media. We watch TV together when we eat dinner, and sometimes we watch the shows I like, and I think she is also interested in them. What enjoy watching America’s Got Talent and High School Musical, and we also watch a lot of Marvel movies, like End Game and Iron Man. I will ask my mom about the shows if I don’t understand what’s happening. We don’t really use technology to interact, besides texting, or talking on Instagram. My mom will stop me if I spend too much time on digital media. I ask her most of the time for what games and social media I can get before I download them.
How do you and your peers interact with media/technology?
My peers and I interact with media through Facetiming and messaging. I don’t use FaceTime every day, but I like Messages. I use Messages every day after school. Some of my friends text during class, but I don’t. After school, my friends ask me about homework through text. I have a lot of apps within Messages, so that I can play games with my friends, send them something I like and interact with them a lot. Messages also has a lot of cool stickers that I could. Sometimes my friends and I watch movies and videos together, or one friend would send a video, then we will all watch and talk about it. I follow some of my friends on Instagram but I only follow and let people follow me if I know them. I like to post stories and pictures of what’s happening in my life.
What do you use media for?
I use media for interacting with friends, entertainment and school. I like to watch cartoon shows and animated shows on TV, and I sometimes use my phone to look up things for homework. I use YouTube for entertainment. I follow some bloggers, some DIY stuff, animators and drawers. David Dobrrik is my favorite one. He is really funny, and he is really nice to his friends. My friends and I watch animators, such as Jaidenaimations and Theood1sout. I also use devices a lot for school and during class to complete assignments and check my grades. What is your favorite/least favorite thing about media/technology? I like being able to keep in touch with people, message them and get help on my homework when I’m away. I also enjoy media and technology for entertainment such as listening to music, reading books, or watching videos. But, I don’t like how people are glued to their devices and don’t pay attention to what’s happening around them.
