Actually, I am a teacher. The whole day I spend at work, and after work, I go home and take care of my children. Therefore, I don't have any time to spend watching TV, so I neither watch historical programs nor serious news. As a history teacher, while teaching throughout the workday, I search for and investigate historical materials for my students, and I prepare presentations or short videos to make history easier and more interesting for them. In conclusion, I can say that yes, every day I watch history videos, but not on TV—just via the computer and the internet. Additionally, I am subscribed to YouTube channels and follow Instagram or TikTok accounts about history. Therefore, nearly every day, I encounter historical materials, which of course strengthens my historical knowledge. Every time I learn many things from these short videos and accounts, I am pleased with this. Although I am a teacher, I still have gaps in information on some topics that I need to develop and investigate further. YouTube and Instagram are always helpful in this regard for me.
