Media Autobiography

As a boy that was raised in the 20th century, I was raised by my parents using a certain type of media. I was surrounded with high quality technology when I was growing up. And still, media is still evolving until now. For my first blog I'll discuss on how a type of media influenced me on who I am now and what things do I do on everyday basis.

Internet is the media that I always use. I use it for social networking, facebook, twitter, tumblr, instagram, etc. I also use it for school works. I even use it to watch movies, download songs and talk with my friends and families. I watch television not much as I surf the web, I watch TV if I just want to relax. Movies are very important for a film student like me. I always watch a movie every week. I like it because its really entertaining. I get to see how films are improved and evolved for this generation. When I was in high school, I used to be in our school's newspaper team. I always have the sports section, comics, and sports photography. I really liked it when I was still writing for our school's newspaper. I only listen to radio inside the car, when Im driving. I don't listen to it at home because this generation has more technology to give you more satisfying music without using the radio. I read books like how I read magazines, I only read them if they're interesting. I only use them if they provide an information where the internet can't give. In the Philippines, where I grew up as a teenager, music (recordings) shapes someone's personality. I notice that music changes how a person lives. You can really tell what music does a person listens to by how he acts. It is really a mass media that affects every people in my country.
For film students like me, I want to learn more on how can I understand mass media. How can I use it as a tool to create a product that will click with the audience just like how a movie would be popular not just inside the country but also outside the continent.
