My Personal Media Timeline

By Rosejel
  • Radio

    The old media that I listened to, in 2012 my mom bought our radio. She listens to various kinds of news here, whether mass or local. This is a kind of media that is often used by older people because they can hear dramas about real life here. When using it, you also need patience because you need to place it in a proper position where the signal continues uninterrupted.
  • Television

    In 2014, my mom bought a TV. We used to only have an antenna and often had to adjust it when the signal was lost. We could only receive GMA and ABS CBN channels because it was limited. Television is a kind of media where you can also get information. Here, you can see people, unlike on the radio where you only hear voices.
  • DVD

    Along with our TV, my mom also bought a DVD because when the wind is strong, the antenna shakes, causing a rare signal loss. So when there's no signal, my dad uses the tapes or the CD he bought, where he puts them in the DVD player. This is a type of media used as a replacement for the TV antenna to watch TV series and movies.
  • Cassette

    Because my dad wanted the sound to be loud when watching TV series, he placed a cassette player next to the TV and connected it to the TV. This is a type of media that is different from the modern speakers we know. Because of this, we don't use Bluetooth. It's not directly connected because you need to connect the necessary cables for it to produce sound.
  • Keypad

    The old cellphone I use to play games. It's not mine, but when my mom is not around, I always play Tetris on it. This is a media that is different from what we are used to now because we no longer need to press all the letters just to send a message. Now, it only takes one press to send it.
  • Computer

    When I was only 13, I often played games on the computer. I used to hang out at my aunt's computer shop and was often asked to watch over their computer and allowed to use it for free. The computer is a media where you can play games and explore different details you want to know.
  • Cellphone

    I got my first cellphone in 2020, given to me by my aunt who gave me her old cellphone because she bought a new one. It's a Cherry Mobile brand and I only use Facebook on it because it can't hold many apps. This is a media that can be used to communicate with loved ones who are far away.
  • Facebook

    I used to spend my time here watching videos and looking at other people's posts. I used to update frequently because it felt new to me. This is a type of media that often contains fake news but can also be helpful sometimes.
  • Smart phone

    On December 26, my mom bought me a smartphone. She said I can use it for school and she said it's her gift to me. This is a media that is commonly used by everyone nowadays. A media that can be used by everyone who's interested to.
  • Instagram

    An app I use whenever I want to watch reels and see my favorite artists. This is a kind of media that provides entertainment and allows you to read news. Knowing trends and issues on the different failed. Just like artist issue or reading comments on it.
  • Google

    A website I use when doing research. It also provides information on what you want to know. You can also search for different modules you want to learn about here.
  • YouTube

    I often watch tutorial videos on various subjects here. This is a media that provides information through listening and watching videos. Just type what you want to know, and it will show up.
