My Media Life: Memories, Habits and Digital Engagement

 When I was a kid, there were no smartphones, and my elder brother and I used to watch TV. This websites was my first media exposure. Later, in middle school, different websites like facebook and google became popular. Compared to those days, these platforms have expanded a lot now. Media has been a big part of my life from an early age. One of the most impressive media experiences I had was watching different type of programs on TV. The combination of science, technology and human ambition left a lasting impact on me.

Over the years, I have used both traditional and digital media. At that time radio and Fm were most popular in every home. I occasionally read newspapers and magazines, but I mostly rely on online media outlets for news. When I want credible information, I check sources like BBC news and national news websites from my home country. I also follow research-based platforms and government websites for reliable updates. Digital media plays a significant roles in my everyday life. I use social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and twitter to stay connected with friends and stay informed. YouTube is my go-to source for learning new skills and get information about a lot of things. I also use messaging apps like WhatsApp, messenger and Telegram for communication.

I wouldn't consider myself a heavy social media user, bit I do spend time engaging with content, especially in groups where meaningful discussions happen. For me, interacting with others is more important than just sharing content. Overall, media is an essential part of my life, shaping my knowledge, entertainment and  communication. I try to maintain a balanced approach, making sure that I use media productively without becoming overly dependent on it. I also want to know, how is your experience in media and technology?
