Today, one of my friends drove me to the supermarket and another friend of mine picked me up and took me home. Both of them played music on cars but I found differences on media. Former friend paired his cell phone with Aux media on the car through Bluetooth and played songs on his phone, while the other friend just simply turned on the radio on her car. The first friend is at the same age with me, and the second one is around 30 years old. I found the difference and in retrospect, it seems teenagers and young peers (including myself) always play only music on their own phones while the other don’t want to bother pairing devices to their cars. This reminds me of age-generated media. Further thinking, a number of young people is strongly persistent on expressing their tastes and preferences through the media they use. Media is extra important for these people as it is not only a vital part of daily life, it gradually becomes an indivisible whole with personalities.
This is the first of five blogs and I am feeling unexpectedly difficult since my daily media usage is simple and fragmentary. I didn’t have any classes today, I didn’t want to go outside or hang out either which means I had plenty of “blank” time, I call it, indicates that me myself cannot figure out what I’ve done for good dozen hours. In my memory during this “blank” time, I was browsing through YouTube and click on random pieces of videos. My cell phone was never away from my hand for more than 30 seconds but all I did mostly was just unlocking the screen, glancing over everywhere (where there was likely nothing), and locking the screen. This meaningless circulation continued after another 30 seconds. Perhaps, there was plenty of time wasting on digital media, gathering useless information or even none. It is so obvious and serious on me but I weirdly never realised that, not even a single thought about it.
