That post was almost three months ago, and while I enjoyed writing it, I wanted to give a more &#8220;3D&#8221; representation of my media use. So, I chose to create a vlog on the topic.<\/p>\n<p>I think it also gave me a chance to show more of my personality as well, something that can sometimes be hard to get a grasp of over text.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q0JnBXQ93cY?si=V48V7s4ysP4DU0lK\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Media usage is a topic I am very curious about, especially as it pertains to how everyone in the world uses it differently. After I filmed this video, I did some research and realized that the way I use media aligns with the fact that I am Gen Z. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/info.mssmedia.com\/blog\/how-gen-z-and-millennials-use-social-media-differently\">MSS Media<\/a>,\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/meganpoinski\/2023\/11\/15\/how-marketers-can-target-gen-z-tapping-into-social-media-and-tiktok\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;89%<\/a> of Gen Z uses social media to discover new content related to their unique passions.&#8221; And, as you can see in the video, for me, this relates to my passion for sports.<\/p>\n<p>In my vlog, I wanted to focus less on how I use media at work, as I feel that using media that we&#8217;re required to use at work doesn&#8217;t always represent our individuality as media users and creators. I focused more on how I use it in my own personal life, in a way of my own choosing.<\/p>\n<p>I tend to be hyper-aware of everything I do, but doing this vlog made me realize that I utilize media platforms at a different rate than I thought.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I&#8217;m glad that I filmed this video because I was able to visualize how I spend my time through a &#8220;birds-eye&#8221; view.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my very first blog post, I logged all of the media I use in a day.
