Hi, my name is Dax Davis and I have newly transferred student from Brookdale Community College. I tend to take part in a lot of media consumption like most people. I like to watch shows on Netflix or Amazon prime video or wherever I can to watch movies and shows. I also like to play video games more so when I was younger than now. I don't really create any media at the moment, but I major in video production so in the future I hope to have a job that allows me to create.
Like I said I don't really create any type of media at the moment but I dabbled in photography in the past. I'm kind of on hiatus for the time being, but the time where I was taking pictures was very enjoyable. We spend a lot of time looking at different types of imagery, so it was a very interesting experience when I started making my own content for people to consume. I would post my pictures to my Instagram and this was the only time I would use the platform. Reading the comments from my friends and even strangers and getting likes on my posts did have a kind of addicting feeling. This led me to understand why some people spent so much time on social media platforms like Instagram. Although some it can be unhealthy when people dedicate so much of their lives to media, it can also very positive and help you connect with people you may not have met ever in real life.
I think that media in terms of consumption is a large part of my life. This is something I would like to change over time. The reason for this is because I feel I waste time going on sites like youtube. For example I sometimes would be up until about 3 or 4 in the morning watching youtube videos when I should be sleeping. This bad habit affects my life because I tend to be really tired during the day and at school and I also sleep in a lot on the weekends. So hopefully I manage to reduce the amount of time spent on consuming media so that I can improve my life a bit.
Overall, completely avoiding media is pretty impossible in my opinion. Trying to get it out of your life completely can be just as bad as media taking over your life. I believe there is a healthy balance that people should try to achieve to not only live a healthy life but to also be informed on what's going on it the world.
