Audience Theory

 What do you primarily use the media for: entertainment, information or something else?
- I personally use the internet for information and education. I enjoy reading the news on my phone app, and I enjoy reading OK news which is gossip news. I do not use the internet for entertainment as I am not on any social networking sites but I do own a phone which has 'Whatsapp' messenger which counts as socialising. I use the internet when doing my work for basic research or even when looking up media theory's as nowadays everything is available on the internet. Other media such as the TV, I use as a form of entertainment as when I'm bored that's what I enjoy doing. On the other hand, every morning I watch the news on the TV which includes me using media for education.

To what extent do you feel dependant on the media?
- I believe I am very dependant on the media this is because, I take my phone everywhere I go which shows I can't live without it. If I'm not using my phone I'm using my Ipad, or watching the TV which are other forms of media, this shows that I am very dependant on the media. Sometimes not having the internet limits my chances of doing homework which again shows how dependant I am on the media.

Has my dependence on the media changed over the last 10 years
I think my dependence on the media has changed over the last 10 years, this is mainly due to a broader technology now, 10 years ago phones did not have news app's, there wasn't many social networking sites, and there was no tablets/pads. Over the last 10 years the technology has become more wider in a sense that phones now have apps which have networking sites, you can read the news on your phone, you can find out about the latests trends and much much more.
