Favorite Media/Technology: iPhone, Instagram, Youtube, Tik Tok
How do you and your family interact with media/technology?
We watch tv together, our favorite shows are reality tv like survivor. We watch a lot of movies when there is nothing to do. I use my phone when I want to talk to my dad when he’s at work. I also talk to my grandparents a lot on the phone when they don’t come over to visit. My sister, mom and I all have instagrams that we use a lot and send photos we like to each other but my dad doesn’t.
How do you and your peers interact with media/technology?
My friends love FaceTime. We get in a FaceTime group chat so we can all talk. We either talk on the phone app or text. When we are hanging out we search up funny videos on youtube like try not to laugh videos. I send them photos of things I do on snapchat and comment on their posts on instagram.
What do you use media for?
I talk to family and friends who I don’t see all the time by using instagram and snapchat. I also use instagram to see what people are doing. I like watching Dr. Pimple Popper and the LaBrant family on youtube. I can see cool videos on TikTok and try new dances from TikTok.
What is your favorite/least favorite thing about media/technology?
My favorite thing about my phone is that I can talk to all my friends and family. I got my iPhone earlier because my older sister has one so that was cool. I don’t like when everyone is using a phone to do other things when I am trying to show them a new dance move I learned. I have to tell them to put down the phone.
