1. Interview Notes
By Haseeb Patel

2. Teenager 1
• What devices do you use/apps features?
• I usually use a smartphone, my Samsung S6 and I also play on my PlayStation 4.
• How often do you use it?
• I use it every day. I use my phone for around 7/8 hours every day which seems normal in today’s society. I use my phone to
check the news and text message throughout social media. I go on my ps4 everyday too but I only go on it for around 4
hours as I need it only for entertainment.
• How important is technology to you?
• Technology seems very important to me as I mentioned before I go on my phone throughout the day so it’s like a child to
me. I would not be able to live without it.
• Is digital technology good or bad?
• I find that digital technology is good for us as it makes our life easier. However it uses a lot of fossil fuels which will prevent
us from carrying on using it.

3. Teenager 2
• What devices do you use/apps features?
• I use my phone my I phone 7 which I find very useful and easy to use. I also play on my Xbox one as well my gaming pc. I
use these tools to make videos on YouTube.
• How often do you use it?
• I use my phone when I have the time for example in the weekdays I have to go college so majority of my day is gone. In the
weekend it’s the same situation because I am always out with my friends.
• How important is technology to you?
• Technology is not as important for me as I can live without it by doing different activities or I can go shopping with my
friends. However because it is here in this world for us to use, I have no problem using it.
• Is digital technology good or bad?
• I do not think digital technology is good for us as it takes over our life and it makes us anti-social so I would not
recommend using it as much.

4. Adult 1
• What devices do you use/apps features?
• When I was a teenager, there wasn’t much for us to use than there is now but before in the above generation, gaming
consoles were inventing in my time so when I was a kid, I use to play on my ps1. I had also used my computer to talk to my
friends from high school. Nowadays I use an I phone as technology has risen.
• How often do you use it?
• I don’t really use my phone throughout the day. The minimum time I use it is when I get a text message or a phone call.
• How important is technology to you?
• As I grew up in the 90’s I didn’t really see technology as a big thing. As kids we used to go out to the park and travel. We
also used to talk to our family and have a conversation with them. But nowadays these kids don’t do it anymore.
• Is digital technology good or bad?
• I believe that digital technology is good as we do need some sort of technology to make our life easier for example; getting
an oyster card picture taken. Before we had to get the application form from the nearest post office store, nowadays we
are able to everything online.

5. Adult 2
• What devices do you use/apps features?
• I use a Nokia 9910 as my phone as I grew up in the 70’s and I believe that using today’s society’s technology is too complex
in my opinion.
• How often do you use it?
• I do not use my phone at all as I am a very busy woman who has other things to do for example clean the house etc.
• How important is technology to you?
• Technology does not seem to bother me too much really as I can do other things like sleep and relax. I also like to travel by
walking because when I was a kid, I use to do that a lot. Nowadays people use cars to travel which I do not admire.
• Is digital technology good or bad?
• I find digital technology bad to use as kids these days are very anti-social and they do not understand the meaning of life
and things like the outside world.
