Cellular Phone
I was in 3rd grade, about 8 years old, when I learned about cellphones. I practically begged my mom to give me one just so that I can join the fad of playing games, and communicate with my friends. I miss those times, where texting my classmates to ask them about our homework or if there's a class suspension is thrilling and nerve-wracking haha. -

Letter using pen and paper
I learned how to draw at age 4 and learned how to write at age 5. I learned how to make letters at age 10. It allowed me to convey messages and/or feelings to the recipient. I made letters for my mom, grandmom, tita, and tito whenever it's their birthday back in the day.

I also hate my penmanship because it's almost unreadable, but later found that thinner pens makes my writings better. -
Newspaper
It was just needed as an example when we were tackling its parts on our lesson about Newspapers, but it caught my interest.

I'm also interested about editorial works and analyzes them without bias. -
Radio
I was 8 years old when I first saw a radio. I never really saw its worth because at the time, technology advancement began to further.

Images
Ever since I was a kid, I was inclined at taking photographs. The reason being, I wanted to capture the emotions that are being expressed, and preserve it. It's pure art.

Internet can encounter problems like, your mail not reaching the recipient or may also be read by hackers. It's a matter of security, and stability.
