My Timeline of Exposure to Traditional and New Media

› The year I was born (2003-2009)

- RADIO: Whenever my parents are bored or want to listen to music, they turn on the
radio (battery-powered), and they say that every time they do, I stamp my feet and
dance. Radio is used to provide audible entertainment as well as obtain information
from different places.

- CAMERA: My parents always take pictures of me and my sisters since we were born
and until now those pictures are in organized albums. This camera is a very important
thing because it can capture happy moment that we had before.

- TELEVISION: When I was a kid we have a Television that looks exactly like this, my
mom says she always letting me watch nursery rhymes so I can learn the ABC song and
other kid’s song that will make me learn something. Television is used for watching
different kinds of shows, It can be news, cartoons, and movies etc.

- STORY BOOKS: I remembered that my mom always buys me these books so I can
learn how to read, she used to always read me books while teaching me how to read.
Books are important to us because it helps us to learn and practice our reading ability.

- DIAGRAM: On the first day of preschool, I saw some illustrations of human body
parts, and my teacher assigned us the task of identifying the components of our bodies.
I included the leg, knee, head, hand, and stomach as examples of body parts. It is used
to help a kid memorize information.

always borrowing it to the play some games like snakes and bounce etc. Cellular phone
is used for communication especially in long distance and it also enable us to have fun
using it and entertain us.

through it. The use of this is for entertainment and also some people use it in watching
their important recordings.

word puzzle that he used to solve. This is important because this provide information’s
that is either helpful to us or will entertain us.

just to play it. The use of this is to make kids happy by playing it, adults also play it but
mostly kids are using it.

› Me in high school (2016-2021)

- SMART PHONE: I was in grade 7 when my mom decided to buy me cellphone, I am

so happy because I can play online that time with my cousin. I used it not only for
games but also in social media app and to have phone calls. This is very important
because it enables us to communicate easily to our loved ones and also using it
entertains and makes us happy.

- SMART TV: This TV is more advance compared to the TV we’ve have before, we can
watch in it not only the shows in it but also in YouTube, Netflix, and others. This is
more entertaining than the v before because the shows in here are not limited.

QUESTION:
›How the evolution of media from traditional to new media shaped the values and norms of
people and society?
Media influences a lot to people, our way of living really change. The use of this
enabled us to easily learn things and those things we learned we can use it in the future.
This also has negative effects like it makes people lazy because they use these advance
Medias just to have fun and not thinking of important things. But all in all this
evolution is a big help to us, it makes our lives easier.
