What devices do you use and also what apps do you use?and how often?
Mum; i use my phone everyday to call and text people and apps I usually go on Facebook but not as much as I used to.
How important is technology to you:
Mum; its not like I couldn't live with out it but some times it does come in handy when I need to contact someone fast but other then that there's no reason I couldn't live without it because we never used to have iPhones and samsungs before.
Is digital technology good or bad and is it difficult to use?
Mum; digital technology isn't really that bad but again you could live with out it also it's a quicker way of finding things out also it isn't really difficult to use once you get used to it but in the begining it is quite confusing.
Do you think young children and adults have become too addicted to devises and apps?
Mum; of course especially you when ever I see you, you always have some kind of device on you so it's good for parents to limit the time their children spend on devices and actually do things that are useful such as home work and reading news papers and finding out what's really going on with the world instead of reading things online which might not always be true but, to answer you question yes children and young adults are begining to be addicted to their devices and also with all these social media apps such as Instagram and snapchat and whattsapp more and more people feel the need to have these app to communicate with people and they are becoming anti social and children are more confident online rather then off line in the real world.
Cousin aged 16:
What devices do you use and also what apps do you use?and how often?
Cousin;I use my iPhone 6s almost everyday to communicate with my friends and also I used snapchat Instagram whattsapp Twitter and I use these apps all the time when I'm free and as soon as I've finished school to find out what everyone is doing
How important is technology to you?
Cousin; technology is very important to me I couldn't live with out it I always need to know what's going on and what everyone's latest picture is on Instagram and what celebrities are tweeting about other people and also to see what everyone is doing on snapchat also it's a very good way to communicate with friends on whattsapp because you can make a group chat which you can have all of your close friends or even people that your friends know and you can all talk about things and meet new people same with Instagram and Twitter.
Is digital technology a good or bad thing and is it difficult to use?
Digital technology is definitely not a bad thing because it is more simple and more fun to use also at first it's not that easy but once your on it nearly every single day then you get used to it and you can do things quicker when your more used to it.
Do you thing children and young adults have become to addicted to devices and apps?
To be honest yes this is the one time where children rely on technology and devices and apps to do everything for them even tho I'm aware of this I can't stop using them because that's the whole idea of being addicted to something it becomes normal for me to use it everyday but older people may have a diffrent opinion on using devices and apps everyday because they wasn't used to it when they was young.
I decided to use my mum because she's older and she knows how it's like to be young and no one have iPhones elect. and apps such as Instagram and Snapchat etc. So she could tell me how purple her age and older see all of these divces and apps and how people in the world have changed ever since all these apps and devices whre created. I also used my cousin which is the same age as me so you could see how devices and apps are from our point of view children and young adults don't dee devices and apps as such a threat to us because we are used to them and we was brought up in a world where it was seen to be normal to have an iPhone or a Samsung and to have Instagram and snapchat because it makes us feel like we can connect with more people but it's true when my mum said thts children and young adults see becoming more confident online rather then offline in the real world.
Overall devices and apps have become such a big part of everyday life I don't think it will ever change also older people and begining to use devices and apps because it's becoming more normal and more convenient to have all these new devices and apps so they can feel connected with everyone and normal.
