Media Inventory

I use TV most because that's how I spend a lot of my free time at home since my brother is always on the computer

Mom uses phone most because that's the only way she communicates to people who aren't face to face from her- she doesn't use a cell phone or MSN, etc.

Dad uses cell phone most because he's the only person in the house who has one.

Brother uses computer most because he's always on YouTube, playing games and talking to friends on MSN.

Dad uses TV the least because works and is more occupied with other things.

Brother uses phone least because he mostly communicates to friends on MSN, etc.

Mom uses cell phone least because she doesn't have one plus doesn't care to use the technology.

Mom uses computer least because she isn't very interested plus no time because brother is always on, otherwise I'm on and sometimes dad goes on.


My Family Members' Favourite Media Tools:
Mom- TV
Dad-Cell Phone
Brother- Computer
Me- Computer & TV

The telephone is the least favourite because there are more interesting ways of communicating when you're not face-to-face from someone. For example, the cellphone and the computer (internet).

Children of Different ages and sexes do prefer different items because of the society that they've been raised in. Advertisements as well as people that children advertise and influence them to like certain things. For example, dolls are geared towards girls and cars towards boys.

The item that is used most is the computer because of it's variety of uses: videos, music, homework, communication (MSN, facebook, etc.). It also has almost any information you want at your fingertips.

The item that is used least is the telephone because we can substitute another item for the same purpose plus more. For example, the computer (MSN, Facebook) and cellphone (also have texting, etc.).
