Media memories :- The First One and The most
Impressive
My first media memory can be and still remains the
animation shows I used to watch sitting in front of a small television set in
Nepal with my family .The colors and the fictions that dawned my mind as I
watched the live performances were magical .Other experiences include
:Listening to the radio while admiring cricket commenting or reading newspapers
in the comfortable Sunday mornings .
The liveliest media experience that I remember was perhaps
the live telecast of Nepal first satellite into space .Little did the Americans
realized what a great technological and spokeswomen moment was on its way to
crest their hearts .
Traditional Media in My Life
I still use traditional media such as newspapers and
magazines but these I have taken a twist to online newspapers and magazines .
As for new sources ,I trust BBC ,The Himalayan Times and Al Jazeera based
on the latest global and Nepali news. I like their policy and the detailed
researches and information they provide.
Digital Media :An Everyday Companion
Technology has a very important place in my life specially
through various forms of digital media .I wake up in the morning ,and the first
thing I took at are the news apps and social media sites .You tube plays a
vital role in my life and it is also my primary source of video education if it
is a lesson in something new or a documentary about this or another subject .
For entertainment my another official sources is Netflix and some form of music
streaming service such as Spotify has become almost compulsory .
Participation in online communities
As i have to mention i actively participate in online
communities are mention below :-
- WhatsApp
and Messenger : to stay connected with families and friends
- Instagram
: to sharing stories ,and moments
- Facebook
: for connecting with local Nepali communities in Finland ,get to know
about the news of Nepal ,These platform also help me interact with people
and share ideas .
- LinkedIn
: I am not so far good at using this platform but i am trying nowadays to
gather information about world ,job and so on .
My Media Preferences :
As much as I am a media user ,I enjoy products that
can convey information both in images and words .Anything that has fancy
graphics ,a video clip ,or looks like a well -written blog is something I
will take my time to read during break or lunch break .Talking to people online
is unproblematic for me ,but I am more focused on personal interaction rather
than just liking or reposting .
Reflection :A Balanced User
To compare with others ,I am not an active media consumer
,but I use media for fun ,to gain knowledge and for communication .Media adds
value in my life because it gain information all over the world and helps me to
transform both personally and professionally .
