Reading is knowledge and knowledge is Power.
As far as I can remember, books have always been in my earliest memories. I've always loved a good fun and entertaining book which taught me a lot of things from animals to planets which I've found to be very helpful. It was the earliest form of media that I have encountered in my life and I still engage in reading books today. -
Books
A book is a series of pages which is assembled for ease of access which contains information regarding a single or multiple topics. It could range from fiction to non-fiction, children's books, educational textbooks, etc. Books are well-known and used throughout the pre-industrial age. It was their most reliable form of storing, sharing, and preserving information throughout the years. It was such a good concept that it is still used until today in just about any corner of the world. -
The Big Picture
Next up in my experiences with media is the television. It's a machine that I ended up wasting a lot of time on when I was a kid instead of going out and socializing with my neighbors. It was fun, entertaining, and it's as if a book is being read and drawn at the same time for you, which definitely caught my attention. It was my first experience of addiction to a present day technology. -

It's rise to popularity grew as it became a must-have home electronic for families. -
Breaking news
In my life, it wasn't until third grade since I've started to really pay attention into newspapers. At first, I was only reading the comic part which usually contains drawings, and as a kid, I was always drawn to it. After awhile, I've started to notice that it contains various news and advertisements about the country. I've had little interest in it but was somehow always there to report about something. -

A Mobile Library of Information and Entertainment
Not too long ago, I received my first smartphone from my mother. It was an item of interest for me as I have only used old cellular phones which were very different than present day smartphones which can easily surf the internet and stream whatever content it contains. The smartphone essentially replaced my use of the television as I have access to a lot more content and it has been my day-to-day device/gadget ever since. It's benefits is undeniable because of its multiple applications in life. -
