MIL Mini Project: Exposure to traditional & new media

  • Books

    Books
    I can vaguely remember my parents used to read to me children's literature books before I would go to sleep. The book I most prominently recall was "The Very Hungry Caterpillar".
  • Newspaper

    Newspaper
    The newspaper was something that always bored me. The only thing that I found interesting were the comics and puzzle the newspaper would provide,
  • Movies

    Movies
    My parents told me that the first film I ever watched was Incredibles. I believe this is where my love of film initially started.
  • PSP

    PSP
    The PSP was the second portable gaming device and the last that I would own. I mainly used to play Star Wars video games such as Battlefront, Force Unleashed, and Lego Star Wars.
  • PS2

    PS2
    Though I didn't own it, I remember always playing video games on it. This is what initially introduced and sparked my interest in console games.
  • iPod

    iPod
    I remember how long and difficultly the process was to save songs onto the iPod. It was because of this I barely used it.
  • Magazine

    Magazine
    The first magazine I would read was K-Zone which was a magazine covering topics on pop culture.
  • Facebook

    Facebook
    I created Facebook to originally play different games on the platform. It became an avenue of communication an I use it for mainly school-related purposes.
  • iPad

    iPad
    The iPad became my avenue to the internet, but before that, it was mainly used as a way to play games.
  • Internet

    Internet
    When I got an iPad I was exposed to the reality of the world. I learned everything I needed to know through the internet.
  • Youtube

    Youtube
    When I first discovered Youtube it became my main source of entertainment. I would watch hundreds of videos in a span of a week.
  • Xbox 360

    Xbox 360
    This was the first console that actually belonged to me. I played main games on it unfortunately, it was jailbroken meaning I couldn't play any online games with my friends.
  • MacBook

    MacBook
    This was the first laptop I was given. It was a hand-me-down from my mother.
  • Instagram

    Instagram
    I used Instagram as a platform to share my love for photography. Currently, I use Instagram way more than Facebook
  • PS4

    PS4
    The PS4 is the current gaming I own. Most of the games I played were online games I could play with my friends. It will probably be the last console I ever purchase because of how obsolete console gaming is becoming compared to PC gaming.
  • Discord

    Discord
    After I got a PS4, I needed an alternative way to communicate with the people I was playing with. I currently still use discord whenever I play PC games.
  • Gaming Laptop

    Gaming Laptop
    I initially bought this laptop to play PC games, but I mainly used it for school work.
