My Experiences with NCT

Week 2 tutorial task - Part 2. To communicate with my firends and family i rely heavily on my smart phone. I've had an iphone for 5ish years, and have recently made the transition to the Samsung Galaxy (as it was a christmas present last year). I communicate through messaging, calling, MMSing, and many apps including; Snapchat, Viber, Facebook, Instagram, communicating through games eg; Words with Friends, Heytell and email and any new app that is released i will more than likely use it at some point in time. I have always had ipods through highschool when they were first released. I've had about 20+ computers including personal laptops and home desktop computers. I am pretty sure my family has had a household computer since i was 6 years old. At the moment there is 2 laptops in my house, 2 desktop computers, an ipad, a samsung tablet, and many broken ipods and iphones in my draw. Bascially i can not survive without my smartphone or some form of internet to communciate. I was influenced by friends and peers to start using these technologies, and because EVERYONE had them and were using them. Privacy is not too big of an issue for me when i use these technologies as i customise settings to make my content 'private' and, if i feel the need to do so, i can block people specifically from viewing my personal information. Companies like Facebook and Google who collect information about their users... yeah there is defintely some kind of privacy issue there but you are using their software and applications and i guess they gather the info to better improve their products and software and tailor it to their consumers - us. I don't really have that much of an opinion on that matter. I don't have 'internet friends' who i only know on the internet, however i do have friends of friends, or people who i have only met once or twice. The End.
