Marika and Abigail tracked their use of social networking apps like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram over time. They found that they used more recently developed apps like Twitter and Instagram more than older apps like Facebook. This shows their growing dependence on technology as new apps are released. They also examined how one woman documented her pregnancy weekly on YouTube from 2 months to giving birth, demonstrating how people track important personal moments.

7. Our findings showed:
• That we both used the apps which had
recently been developed more than apps that
had been developed a few years back…
• Facebook – we use least now, compared to
years ago when we were in year 6/7 when we
actively used it.
• Twitter and Instagram – we use it mostly to
see what’s going on in the world and with
people we know

8. The dependence we have on
technology
• This shows that our dependence on
technology has increased every time a new
application is released.
• We both agreed that when facebook was
released we actively used it as that was what
was being used to communicate with friends.
• But now Instagram and Twitter are the leading
social networking we use those more.

9. Tracking personal moments
• We explored the way people track and
document joyous times in their live such as a
pregnancy.
• We looked at Anna who documented her
pregnancy every week from her 2months
mark.
