In this assignment I interviewed my friend how is 24. I asked him if he relies on the internet. He told me he can not live without the internet. He has Facebook, Myspace; he even is on a blog group. So his day is consistently around the computer and he is always checking them through the internet and his phone because now you can use the phone to get on the internet. So no matter where he is at he always has connection to the internet. He told that he lives around the internet and technology because it is easy access, it is quick, and they have reliable resources on their as well. In the interview he told me when he was little he did not think the internet was a big deal, even though he had it, it was not a big deal to him because they did not have many of the sites they have today. But today it has changed him completely he has a lab top that he takes with him to every class. He checks all of his ways of communication through the internet, pays his bills that way, and even check his bank account status to. He told everything is just easier to do with the internet.
On the next interview I talked to my brother who is 36. He told me uses the internet, but for business purposes, emailing, and just surfing the net. He does not have Facebook and Myspace. He said growing up they never had any of this. No computer where you can send out emails and Aim, just a computer that you can type papers on and keep information on. This new era is something he likes he explained and said that it has changed his life, because now he use this to email his friends, look up his basketball stats because he is a big fan, and now he pay his bills online. He explained how technology is changing his life as whole for the better. Now people can get things done quicker, faster, and more efficient.
My last interview was my grandma she is 78. She lives with my mom and my grandma is actually not even allowed to go on the computer. My mom thinks that she will do something to mess it up because she has never used one before. My grandma said she likes to get on the phone and talk to her friends. She does not even know how to send an email or sing up and check her bank account. She said in her time they never had a computer besides a type writer, or the really old computers. My grandma does have a cell phone though and I have taught her plenty of times of how to use her phone, send text messages and check them, add people to her contacts and check voice messages but she always forgets and does not want to do that. I thought it was funny because she thinks that technology is good but it is not worth it for her because she has been without it for most of her life.
