Technology and Media in Everyday Life (เนื้อเรื่องเต็ม)
How much time each day do you think the average person spends watching television, listening to music, reading, playing video games, and using the Internet? If you base your answer on how much time you spend engaging in these activities, doubling that number will provide a more accurate answer.
The Middletown Media Studies discovered that people actually spend twice the amount of time using media than they believe. These studies also established that people do not use media in isolation but often use two or more media sys-tems simultaneously, an activity referred to as concurrent media use. For example, you may be reading this book while listening to the radio or watch-ing television. Including concurrent media use, the most media-active person observed in these studies spent more than 17 hours using media each day, and the least media-active person observed spent a bit more than 5 hours using media each day. The average amount of time spent using media daily was nearly 11 hours (Papper, Holmes, & Popovich, 2004).
Now consider how often people send text messages in a given day. Focusing only on teenagers, the median (half send more, and half send fewer) number of texts sent each day is 60, with 18% of teenagers sending over 200 text mes-sages daily (Lenhart, 2012). Adults send fewer texts on average than teenagers (A. Smith, 2011). However, the frequency of adult texting is rising, and current teenagers will soon become adults and bring many of their texting habits with them.
While the sheer amount of time spent using technology and media is reason enough for their importance as an area of study, perhaps more significant is the impact of technology and media on relationships and the impact of relation-ships on the use of technology and media. Technology and media use at home frequently occurs in the presence of family members, close friends, and roman-tic partners, while technology and media use outside the home often occurs with those with whom you share more social relationships, such as classmates, coworkers, acquaintances, and even strangers.
The use of technology and media takes place in the context of relationships, and our knowledge of technology and media can be best developed through a relational perspective and by examining their use in everyday life. In what follows, we discuss how people tend to view technology and media. We then explore the relational uses of technology and media. Finally, we specifically examine the ways in which people construct identities and relate through two prominent technologies: cell phones and the Internet.
