How do you and your peers interact with media/technology?

Through texting and getting in touch with them for homework help. Sometimes my friends get distracted by their phones when we are together but I do my best to make sure that I am present and am socializing with them.

What do you use media for? 

I use it to communicate and get more information on things through many social media apps, like Whatsapp. I am also able to connect with family that I do not see often.

What is your favorite/least favorite thing about media/technology?
