Theme 1: Social media sites
A common theme seen with many of the web pages I looked at was the prevalence of a social media hierarchy. The most popular site I saw was Instagram which was on almost everyone's website. Snapchat and Tiktok were also popular choices.Â
Theme 2: Video games
Video games were a common inclusion in many people's common media which makes sense given how popular games are for our generation. The most popular games I saw were FPS games with COD and Valorant being the most frequent. Many people use PCs or mobile phones to play games.
Theme 3: Video streaming
Many people use the same video streaming sites with Youtube being the most popular. In terms of TV streaming, many people use Netflix and Hulu. For those who included video games in their media hierarchy, Twitch was also a popular choice.
Possible Changes
I would revise my media categorization by including more specific examples under certain types of media. For example, under Netflix, I could list certain movie genres I like to watch or TV shows I like. Additionally, I could subdivide certain media further than before to create more layers in my hierarchy. I would add subsections for sports which include the teams I watch, and emails to include Gmail. Furthermore, I could also add certain mobile and PC games I play under my games media section.
