Memoir

My media experience throughout my life has been one full of technology and the “latest and the greatest”. Ever since I was a small child, I remember being fortunate to have a computer to play simple games on, as well as full exposure to television and movies. There are numerous videos of me as a toddler being absolutely obsessed with watching commercials on the TV. As soon as the show my family was watching would come back on, I went back to my playing without a care about what it was…it was the commercials I liked.

At a little bit older, I was very much into reading various books. My favorite as a little kid were imaginative books, full of dragons and mystery, allowing me to go places even farther than the movies and television I was watching could take me. As I grew, my taste in books began to change and I became interested in thick and more intense books. Current events and contemporary books allowed me to know what was going on in the world, and I also became interested in reading various magazines and newspapers in order to keep up to date.

Perhaps my greatest exposure to media is through music. Even while I was in my mother’s womb, my father would put headphones on her belly and play me various songs by some of his favorite bands. Throughout my life, music as been a huge part of who I am, and I attribute that very much to my fathers influence. Through him, I have become a fan of all types of music, and have played in various bands since high school, wearing my influences on my sleeve.

Today, I am on the frontline of the media force. I am an avid blogger and keep a blog about music and current trends, sharing my opinions and ideas with the rest of the online world. On top of my blog, there are roughly 20 websites that I check every day, keeping in touch with friends and current events as often as I possibly can. I am the proud owner of a MacBook, which helps me easily do what I love to do. I also have some amazing music production programs, allowing me to turn what I love into a physical product that I can share with the world online as well. I feel like today, it is only necessary to ensure that I am up to date with the “latest and the greatest,” and I will continue to do so as long as technology keeps expanding.
