    When I was three years old, the radio brought so much excitement to our family. I discovered it because of the upbeat music and joyful voices that appeared to fill every corner. Whether it was lively tunes, funny chat shows, or jingles, the radio always felt like a party going on in the background. It made even regular times feel special, turning our mornings and afternoons into little bursts of joy.

    When I was four years old, television was my main source of enjoyment and knowledge. I used it to watch cartoons and movies that generated my imagination. It encouraged me to discover stories beyond my everyday life. I first discovered television because of my family. Every 6 p.m., everyone gathered around the television, and I was captivated by the moving pictures and sounds. It soon became my favorite process for spending time, as it taught me about new ideas and kept me interested for hours.
  • Digital Versatile Discs (DVDs)

    Digital Versatile Discs (DVDs)
    I first discovered about Digital Versatile Discs (DVDs) when I was five years old. DVDs were a popular way to watch movies and television shows since they provided better quality than VHS tapes. I discovered them when my family began using a DVD player for movie nights. I'd immediately grab my favorite DVD from our collection, insert it into the player, and enjoy hours of enjoyment. It was incredible to see how a little disc could store so many of my favorite stories and adventures.
  • SmartPhone

    SmartPhone
    My first experience using a smartphone came when I was seven years old, and it was an amazing feeling. I was impressed at how small and light it was compared to our TV and DVD player. My parents taught me how to play simple games and use the camera to take photos. I had fun exploring the lively screen and discovering new apps, which made me feel like I was on a tiny journey right in my hand. The smartphone quickly became one of my favorite ways to have fun and keep in touch with family.
  • Facebook

    Facebook
    My friends introduced me to Facebook when I was ten years old because they were already using it to keep in touch. I was curious about how they could share photos, post updates, and chat with each other online. I used my account to connect with friends and family, post about my hobbies, and browse other pages and groups after creating it. It has become a way of communication, self-expression, and keeping myself informed about the world around me.
  • Messenger

    Messenger
    Messenger became one of my primary media sources when I was eleven. I discovered it when using Facebook, and I really enjoyed how much easier it made friend chats. I commonly used Messenger to meet up with friends, share funny photos, and even start group chats for homework or casual internet use. I enjoyed using it because I could speak with anyone right away, even if I wasn't connected to Facebook, and it was quick and easy to use.
  • YouTube

    When I was twelve years old, I started to use YouTube. I've heard about it from friends who share funny or entertaining movies they see online. I generally used YouTube for enjoyment, such as music videos, vlogs, and DIY tutorials. I also like discovering hot videos and content makers that share my interests. It quickly became one of my favorite platforms for both study and entertainment.
  • Snapchat

    Snapchat
    I first used Snapchat, a popular social media platform with disappearing messages and funny filters, when I was 13 years old. The reason I found it was because of the filters. I wanted to try them out because I had heard so much about them. I could share short videos or pictures using the app's fun overlays and effects, and I liked trying out various looks. Snapchat quickly became my primary application for fun, and I adored how it added a playful filter to sharing photos with friends.
  • Google

    When I was 13, I started using Google often. I discovered it while looking for assistance with my schoolwork, and it instantly became essential for school projects and research. It was like a way to access infinite information—whether I needed to check up on data, discover new websites, or simply meet my curiosity about unexpected things. I also used Google to find interesting data, such as blogs, videos, and news. It became my first place anytime I needed answers or wanted to try something new.
  • Instagram

    Instagram
    Instagram has become a big part of my life. I discovered it through friends who were always posting cool photos and using creative filters when I was thirteen. I was captivated by how simple it was to follow what everyone else was doing and share my own pictures. I like playing with different filters and hashtags to make my posts stand out. It was my primary app for connecting and discovering new trends.
  • Tiktok

    Tiktok
    I began using TikTok when I was fourteen. I discovered it because of the app's popularity on social media, where I was constantly seeing viral videos and challenges. What caught my attention was the short, interesting video combined with popular music. I mostly used it to watch interesting videos and try some of the popular challenges myself. TikTok immediately became a wonderful conference, allowing me to appreciate short bursts of creativity from individuals all over the world.
