MY MEDIA USAGE

I have a Samsung Toco ultra. I mostly use my phone for texting. If I upgraded I would choose A Blackberry Bold so I could have an easier Internet access and email usage on my mobile.

To keep in touch with my friends I use MSN messenger for instant messaging, and Facebook to keep in touch with people all around the world and to document photos and memories. I am not concerned with privacy issues as I have my privacy settings to the highest possible settings, so therefore I have complete control over who sees my profile.

 I keep up with films by watching trailers on youtube or generally looking up the progress of the film via google. If it is a film I desperately want to see I will go to the cinema to make an occasion out of it. Otherwise I would buy a DVD off Amazon for a cheap price and then watch it at home with friends or family.

Music is important in my life and I tend to listen to music constantly, whether this is with my friends, family, or on my own. I usually buy my music from a record shop as I like to have the CD and a hard copy of it.

As I like video games I have a Play Station 3 and a Nintendo Wii. However I rarely have time to play on my consoles due to excesive amounts of homework.

I would usually use the internet for about 2 hours a night on week days, to help me with my homework, and to look up guitar tabs. On weekends I would still use the Internet for about 2 hours, perhaps talking to friends on MSN. My family use the Internet for shopping, or buying me concert tickets. I experience various problems with the Internet such as loosing connection occasionally. I would not go online to read the news, because I feel that most news is biased, and I would rather make up my own mind about situations.

I would no longer buy magazines, because if I want to find news about a band, I will go on Youtube and watch interviews, or I will go on Wikipedia to see if any new news is out.

On T.V I tend to watch The Simpsons, but apart from that, the only reason I would use a T.V is to watch films. I much prefer watching films, rather than watching T.V programmes. If I want to watch something I have missed, I use BBC I player, but most the time, I will just wait until the programme is shown again on T.V.

 In the future, w hat I think would be useful technology is a device that has free internet usage, so I could use the internet on a mobile, while I am on the train, or in a car, without being charged.
