media technology growing up

I watched television through the actual television. I didn't have access to computers or streaming services such as Netflix at the time. I only got these products when I was about eleven and Netflix just this year. I wasn't an avid listener of music growing up as a kid, but now I use my phone and services such as Apple Music and Spotify to listen to what I like. Lastly, I also use my phone to communicate with my friends through instant messaging, rather than calling. As a kid, I wasn't allowed to go to many places with my friends because my mom worried about me. So, I always relied on my phone since I was eleven in order to talk to them at anytime after school. I should also mention that my family is a thing, and of course I care about them! My phone can reach them too.

These technologies have changed my life because it makes it easier to access the world and continue being social. It developed my knowledge of culture and the popular shows in America. It helped me pass time and not die in boredom. Furthermore, my phone in particular is a great resource for me to go to in order to help me do my schoolwork. Don't worry, I'm not plagiarizing though.

(I don't know why the text is so small, can't seem to fix it)
