How do you and your family interact with media/technology?
My family and I interact with media and technology by using it as a communication tool. We mainly use it to text or call each other when there are errands or something important to talk about.
How do you and your peers interact with media/technology?
My peers and I mainly interact with media and technology through the social aspects it provides. We use it to connect with other people and to stay connected with the world in general. It is also a form of communication that can keep us my friends and I in touch without having to meet each other in person.
What do you use media for?
I use media for my own personal enjoyment. On snapchat I like to take cute pictures with filters and send them to my friends. When I post a story on instagram, I feel like im bringing people along with my life without having to directly talk to them. I can vlog about my life for others to see and communicate with anyone that has a form of social media. I can also meet new people and talk to my friends that do not live near me.
What is your favorite/least favorite thing about media/technology?
My favorite thing about media and technology is the ability for me to gain inspiration from others. I follow a lot of home decor pages on instagram and when I’m feeling down, I can just go on it and see cute and aesthetic stuff and be inspired. My least favorite thing about media is the fact that I have become a more judgmental person. I constantly judge others for the pictures they post but I never used to be this judgmental in the past. Also, I do not like how others make assumptions about me through my pictures without even meeting me in person.
