Exposure to Media from the Electronic Age
At about 5 years old, I was very fond of listening to the bulky old radio in the house. I remember dancing and singing to old pop songs by Beyonce, MYMP, Eraserheads, and Rihanna, and then dreading the time when the news comes on because of my lack of interest in the current events back then. -

Exposure to Media from the Pre-Industrial Age
I have learned about the primitive ways of communicating through the art of cave paintings, where the earliest pre-history proofs of human behavior and existence were found, through our 7th Grade MAPEH course. We were also taught about people's use of stone, wood and fiber in recording their history, laws and other significant information.
