Our findings showed:

• That we both used the apps which had recently been developed more than apps that had been developed a few years back…

• Facebook – we use least now, compared to years ago when we were in year 6/7 when we actively used it.

• Twitter and Instagram – we use it mostly to see what’s going on in the world and with people we know

The dependence we have on technology

• This shows that our dependence on technology has increased every time a new application is released.

• We both agreed that when facebook was released we actively used it as that was what was being used to communicate with friends.

• But now Instagram and Twitter are the leading social networking we use those more.

Tracking personal moments

• We explored the way people track and document joyous times in their live such as a pregnancy.

• We looked at Anna who documented her pregnancy every week from her 2months mark.

• Her YouTube page…’The Style Diet
