inventory of your media habit, lifestyle and preferences. This means that you will assess your personal

Out of all the media I listed in my weekly online activities record: I spend the most time on
Facebook because I love using it. Facebook is a multi-purpose social media that I use to
converse, entertain myself with memes and funny videos, read, seek and access information-
whether useful or tedious stuff that I can use to socialize. Most importantly, our school uses
Facebook to interact with us student and distribute updates regarding our online class
schedules.
3. Looking at the total number of hours you have spent on online activities per week, do you think
the figure is essential for your to be able to be media and information literate individual?
In various types of media, a wide pool of information is dispersed, and it is undeniable that I
experienced a plethora of facts and tests to improve my social functioning. I believe that my
exposure to media for 55 hours per week is more than adequate to help me improve my media
and information literacy skills.
