  • Television

    A television is an electronic system of transmitting transient images of fixed or moving objects together with sound. I usually don't mainly watch television, but I like to keep it on in the background so that the house is not quiet.
  • Mobile Phones

    Mobile Phones
    A mobile phone is a portable device for connecting to a telecommunications network in order to transmit and receive voice, video, or other data. It is one of the main devices I use every day, and I carry it around almost everywhere. I also keep "accidentally" breaking these, and most of the failures are battery-related.
  • Desktop Computer

    Desktop Computer
    Desktop computers are a personal computing device designed to fit on top of a typical office desk, it works by combining input, storage, processing, and output. Even though the computer was strictly used only for work and school, I couldn't help but play video games on it. I now currently use it for other things like editing, creating music, coding, etc.
  • Reddit

    Reddit is a website where users can view and share links or text posts for others to see. I discovered that Reddit had specific subreddits where I could ask questions and communicate with people who shared my interests.
