Media and me

  Media and me

I was born in 1976 so I have grown with traditional media; television, video tapes and print media. I remember I got used to read the newspaper every morning at a quite young age, first just the comics and over the years the whole paper. The habit has changed, today I still can´t start the day without reading the news with my morning coffee, but I read them on my phone and in addition of the local area news I can read international news sites. 

The digital media came in to my life as a young adult when I was studying at Business College. We still used mainly books for studies but also computers and internet. Back then I also used a chat -site for the first time. It was exciting to chat with random people. 

Today I still like to read traditional books, newspapers and magazines but I also read a lot articles on the internet. There is an incredible amount of knowledge available to use for work and studies. On my free time I mostly use Facebook and Instagram and some apps for communicating. The latest app I downloaded is Duolingo to help me learn japanese language, it´s my dream to travel there some day😊
