The Beeps and the Buzzes

I live a fairly simplistic life. I preform mundane tasks which are preformed by millions of others around the world and wake up to the familiar sound that has implanted itself into our society. That sound is the buzz of technology. The constant beepings and buzzings that we hear on a daily basis. I can't pinpoint the exact moment of when I became aware of these sounds, but it was around the time of when I was in middle school. The time when smartphones and apps came into our lives. For me, the world of media surrounded me with slow steps. First, I succumbed to the games that I could never complete, yet kept playing. Next, was my obsession with reading and the countless worlds the books brought me (Yes. I do, in fact, love reading). Then, came along music and T.V. shows. As of today, I still play the frustrating games, read my fantastic books, listen to music and enjoy watching my shows. I would consider my relationship with media to be somewhat more private than others. Not in a sense that I'm living a secret, technological life, but in a sense that I don't plaster my daily life all across the internet. I prefer to keep more to myself. I know, I know. I'm a teenage girl living in California and surrounded by a society where people base your coolness on the amount of followers you have, yet I don't have an Instagram or Twitter. If that makes me a loser, then so be it. Well, now you know my life's relationship with the world of media and as this is my first blog post, I would say that it went rather well. Hopefully.
