    My 8-9 year old self has decided to make a Facebook account with the help of their mother. My past self uses Facebook for at least 2 hours a day since there isn't that much going on back then. I mostly go to YouTube to watch videos and I think I use YouTube for about 3 hours a day.

    At this year, my 10 year old self discovered Korean Pop and I have decided to be a Girls' Generation fan. I started to use Facebook and YouTube for about 9 hours a day to get updates on my favorite K-POP group. I also watch the television every night (MYX channel) to listen to new songs.

    I stopped watching the television. Me, being a K-POP fan, has decided to join Instagram and Twitter to follow my favorite korean idols. I also discovered a lot of gaming YouTubers who are very entertaining to watch. I use Facebook a lot as well because I really enjoyed taking selfies and sharing random posts. I used those media for more than 10 hours a day and this went on for a few years.

    DeviantArt phase

    At 2014, I joined DeviantArt because I was influenced by my cousin. I made a lot of my little art using digital art softwares. I gained a lot of friends from around the world. At 2019, I have decided to leave that website because my internet friends were inactive as well, and my art doesn't get recognized anymore on that website.

    I use social media for about 12 hours a day. I got sick of using DeviantArt which is why I moved to Instagram to post my artworks. I gained the recognition that my art deserves and I've been happy since then.

    Due to quarantine, I have decided to join TikTok just to check the application out. In the end, I got addicted and I am still using it today. On this year, up until now (2021), I am exposed to media for about 14 hours a day. I know, it's unhealthy. I use social media a lot to get updates about the world, I also use it more than usual to communicate with the people I love/know.
