Personally, I use the media for entertainment especially when I have nothing to do. For example, whenever I'm at home sitting down and doing nothing, I would normally go onto twitter to look at what is happening in the footballing world and the news etc. Or I would go onto a messaging app, e.g. WhatsApp and talk to different people.
To what extent do you feel we are dependent on the media?
I think that we are dependent on the media until we get bored of using that specific type of media or if we have something else to do which isn't linked to the media, e.g. cooking or going out to do different sports etc.
Has our dependence on the media changed over the last 10 years? How?
I think that over the past 10 years, the media has developed massively. If you were looking at the early 2000's, not that many people would look at the media because nothing really existed or was that popular apart from magazines, television or newspapers. However, nowadays most of the people in the world would use different types of media every single day since there is more things to look at now, e.g. Twitter and Facebook. Also, we can now send messages to different people around the world via our mobile phones and even the internet.
Read this Telegraph article – does this support Dependency theory? What is your personal opinion on this issue?
This article is showing that people in the modern day cannot live without their 'gadgets' because it shows that this is one of the only things that they have to entertain themselves. In my opinion, I think that it is okay to have these different gadgets on you all the time because like me, it is a way of finding out what is happening around the world and if this is the only way people think are motivated to find out what's happening (by looking at the gadgets) then I believe that this is a good thing and having these gadgets is extremely beneficial as it is making the people alert at all times.
