It's the evening of March 16, 2026.

After what seemed to be eternity of waiting, your Uber has finally arrived.

In a hurry, you get in the car and greet the driver. You tell the driver your destination and the driver nods as he starts to drive.

Aren't you a bit too young to be a driver.. ?

Aren't you a bit too young to be a driver.. ?

As you look in the mirror, you notice that the driver looked a bit too young to be driving. You inquire, "How old are you.. ? Aren't you a bit too young to be a driver??" He replies, "I actually just turned 18 today! Here, do you wanna have some cake?" He says as he turns around, only to reveal a face smothered with cake and offer you a box with a few pieces of cake left.

As the light turns green the driver introduces himself, "My name's Mycull Emmanuel B. Caballero, but you can call me Emman!" You introduce yourself as well and ask Emman, " Why are you driving already?"

Emman reveals his motivation, "This is just a part-time job, to earn a living. I want to start earning money at an early age so I can support myself and my mother!"

"If you were going to ask, I went to Senior High School at Ateneo de Davao University alongside my old friends!" Emman continued.

Intrigued by your driver's life story you ask more, "What course are you taking?"

Emman quickly replies with "Civil Engineering!"

"Anyways, enough about my life. I'm just gonna put on some music on Spotify!" Emman says at he plays ART by Tyla, his number 1 on his Spotify Wrapped on his aux.

"If I really have nothing to do, I like to scroll on TikTok, get news from Facebook, see my friends' stories on Instagram, or listen to music on Spotify!"

"I'm GLAD you asked!! I love collecting Funko Pops so much, but I haven't got one in a while..."

"Oh yeah, I also play Mobile Legends.. I actually reached Mythical Glory a few weeks ago!"

As you pass by a port, you ask Emman to slow down as you take a photo to keep for memories of this night.

"I haven't told a lot of people about this.. but I've been really, REALLY, into Spider-Man ever since I was a kid. So this stays between us."

You chuckle, amused with what you just heard.

"We're almost near your destination! If you ever wanna get a ride again, just message me on Facebook!"

As you arrive at the destination, you bid goodbye to Emman.

As you look back at Emman, he smiles at you before parking in a quite private space.

Emman then begins to contemplate on the effects media has had on his life. From reminiscing on old photos on his childhood posted by his family members, to the vast opportunities of jobs that provide for people like him and different people that he meets through them, media has definitely had better impacts on his life than worse. This wasn't because of his tech-savviness and his excellence in navigating different forms of media, but about the growth that he experienced like meeting his friends and colleagues and going through different phases of his life, especially in an age where technology is thriving everywhere. Though there are risks that this media provides, Emman believes that the benefits far outweigh them and that media is a very wonderful place to be in this day of age.
