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
