my most used form of media is tiktok or instagram, i spend most of my time on these apps watching funny videos, or looking at "memes". For me if depends on the day im having if it has a positive or negative influence on me, for example if im feeling poorly about myself, my life, maybe even just the way my hair is that day, then certain things i see or watch could have a negative impact rather than on a day im feeling good and positive about those things. i feel like i should be more self awear and limit my media use at these times.

I use Youtube the most and I feel like an argument could be made for positive and bad influence as I have learned many skills from it but also get easily distracted by it

I try to avoid most forms of news media, cnn, msnbc, fox etc. I try to source my own news and information to try to avoid bias. I don't  engage at all with negativity online. My main sources of media would be instagram and youtube as i run a youtube channel, share photography on instagram but I try to keep interactions and time online to a minimum. I try to be outdoors as much as possible and only engage with people and things directly around me. I find social media distracting and online has become a frustrating place...

The media I use the most would be Tiktok. I feel Tiktok has a negative influence on me because I can go on the app with the intention of just watching a few videos and then I look up and it's been hours. I then feel like I've wasted hours of my day.

I use the internet the most. I waist a lot of time scrolling on Facebook and reading news articles. I also use Youtube and Spotify everyday for my music. I personally feel my use of media has a negative influence on me because I will find my self scrolling through Facebook or Instagram for nothing, not realizing how much time has gone by or it will keep me up late at night ,causing me lack of sleep. I am hoping to cut down on my media use in this New year.

The form of media I use the most is the internet in general, I don't use any specific sites or apps more than others. Most of the news I read and information I consume comes from news articles I come across while scrolling on Facebook, Reddit or from Google alerts. A lot of times I feel like having constant access to ever-changing information is negative for me because I feel the need to constantly keep up to date and it can certainly border on obsessive at times. I also feel like at times all of the news or information I'm seeing is very biased, which can be dangerous if people are not thinking critically about what they're reading. While I do love to learn and consume media, sometimes I think it would be better to limit myself.

My most used form of media would be either tiktok or youtube. Youtube is a pretty neutral form of media, I usually just watch funny videos or makeup tutorials. Tiktok on the other hand can be pretty dangerous. Ive been thinking recently of deleting the app, which would suck because its fun but theres a very strong idea of what beauty standard is the best and I think it can become pretty toxic on the app. Im unfortunately very susceptible to trends and beauty standards and I simply cannot keep up with tiktok, so for that reason Id say with a great deal of certainty that the app definitely does not have a positive influence on me no matter how many cute videos of animals I see.

The medium I mainly use is the Internet. I read the general news every day through the knowledge platform because I can access the news more broadly. Next, I receive feedback through social platforms such as Facebook. FB assigns an interest group and receives updates. These groups include as CBC, KFL&A, School Board, and Kingston Police, which are suitable for listening to information closely related to my life. I think these media have a positive impact on me. Because it is objective and delivers the news. Sometimes while using FB even I fall down the rabbit hole. I can't take my eyes off some of those silly videos and waste time, but I try not to do this.

The main form of media I use is Facebook. I think that Facebook has both a negative and positive influence on me, negative because there is a lot of lies, and you have to be careful what you believe. There are also a lot of negativity on Facebook posts. However, it is also positive because especially now, it makes it easier to keep in touch with friends and family who otherwise I would not talk to everyday.

The two types of media i use most would be instagram and Tiktok. I feel that they have a positive and negative influence on me. Mainly it is a positive influence because i can keep up with friends and be informed on things that are happening, but the negative influence it has is that it becomes a huge distraction for me, in my day to day life it takes up a good amount of my time. Another things is that nowadays there are way more lies then truths on the internet, and we have to be careful and learn how to know the difference.

Youtube is one form of media I use everyday. I believe it has a positive impact for myself because my son and I enjoy it, and it motivates me to be in a positive mood. Alot of music also has a message it is trying to convey so I use them to help teach my little boy a story/value I feel is important. I also scroll through social media, which ultimately, I feel negatively impacts my life. It serves no true purpose other than the occasional information I can actually trust, or seeing updates from family far away. Aside from that I think life was alot more genuine and simple not long ago when I was growing up and social media and internet weren't mainstream.

I waste time scrolling Facebook. I read news articles on various platforms. Listen to music and the occasional podcast on youtube or spotify but I feel social media platforms have a negative impact on my life overall. While it's good to stay informed, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. There is too much drama and too many fake people. Misinformation runs rampant and too many tend to blow things way out of proportion. The lies are far more available then the truth.

On my part I use YouTube as my window into media. the platform has many positive affects on people like raising awareness on different topics or even raising money for a good cause. in conclusion I believe that the medium is a reliable source of positive media and that the pros out weight the cons.

Like most people, I scroll through Facebook & Twitter out of boredom looking for wrestling news about events that are happening throughout the world. Clips on YouTube of various promotions, wrestlers and wrestling news. Some podcasts on Spotify are very informative. I generally feel like it does have a positive influence, I'm always trying to stay on top of current events in pro wrestling, when the spring comes, I aspire get back into event promoting, so it's always good to keep an eye on up and coming talent & such.
