More first media memories from my Global Media Literacy class (updated 8/28/13):
- Social media website Bebo. “When asked, the social media website Bebo and instant messaging program MSN were the first medias that popped into my head.”“My media memory is Bebo which is a social networking site where you can have photos, friends, and items you like on your profile.”
- Blues Clues – “It was the first thing that was on every morning when I woke up as a child, especially during the summers!”
- 9/11 – “I don’t remember much of 9/11 because I was in second grade. What I do remember was that someone had came into the room and talked to our teacher. After that we watched it in school and at home.”
“The way I remember it is my second grade class and I were having a normal class day when someone rushed in and whispered something into the teacher’s ear. She had a shocked look on her face and the rest of the day just seamed off and when I got back to my house after school I just remember seeing the two huge buildings in a massive fireball and really being confused I suppose.” - Michael Jackson’s The Man in the Mirror – Growing up my parents always listened to music especially MJ and Whitney Huston!! Ever since then I’ve always had a liking to MTV.
