TIMELINE OF EXPOSURE TO TRADITIONAL MEDIA AND NEW MEDIA

  • Portable Radio Battery Operated

    Portable Radio Battery Operated
    This is a Portable Radio Battery Operated. This is a sound communication by radio waves, usually through the transmission of music, news, and other types of programs from single broadcast stations to multitudes of individual listeners equipped with radio receivers (Skretvedt & Sterling, 2023). Radio is one of my favorite things in the world. Me and my father always listen to the radio before. We listen to news, music, and entertainment. This radio is very useful in our daily life, up until now.
  • Classic Mobile Phone

    Classic Mobile Phone
    This is the classic mobile phone. This is a wireless handheld device that allows users to make and receive calls. It is a portable device for connecting to a telecommunications network in order to transmit and receive voice, video, or other data. I can still remember this kind of mobile phone my mother used to have before. I always borrow this from her just to play "Snake". This mobile phone is durable. My mother's phone was accidentally dropped on the floor a few times but it was not damaged.
  • Flip Phone

    Flip Phone
    This is a Flip Phone. PC Magazine describes flip phone as a hinged cellphone that is more compact when closed. The cover "flips open" to reveal the screen, keypad, speaker and microphone. I remembered this flip phone from my Auntie. She had this phone and I was astonished with that thing at that time. Because of the amazement I felt, I ask my mother to buy me one. Well, she bought me a flip phone but... it wasn't working. This phone, just like the mobile phone, can also text and call.
  • Android Phone

    Android Phone
    This is an Android Phone. This is a powerful, high-tech smartphone that runs on the Android operating system (OS) developed by Google and is used by a variety of mobile phone manufacturers (Hiley, 2022). I got my first android phone last 2020, yes, during the pandemic. It was Cherry Mobile Flare Y7. But, I am no stranger with this kind of phone because I sometimes borrow my friend's and my siblings' phone before. This thing can call, text, surf on the internet, and watch videos in various apps.
  • Smart Phone

    Smart Phone
    This is a Smart Phone. Provazza (2019) explained that a smartphone is a cellular telephone with an integrated computer and other features not originally associated with telephones such as an operating system, web browsing, and the ability to run software applications. The picture is my current smart phone. Unlike mobile phone, flip phone, and android phone, this smart phone can do better. It can browse the Internet and run software programs like a computer.
