Theme three: Media and Communication

This is the summary for theme three.

All of us have mentioned the same things in our work on theme three.  We all use computers, mobile phones, MP3s and other technolgical things for leisure and study.

In school we have a digital platform and the students who are in the first and second year use laptops in class for their work.  We are all in Batxillerat, the sixth form, and we use computers and a projector in class with a touch sensitive screen.  A lot of us study with Wikipedia and other pages on the internet and we often hand in our work using a word processor.

We love the X-box, playstation and all the other games consoles.

The computer we also use a lot for social sites like facebook, we all have facebook and other sites like Twitter.  We download music, films and other stuff.  Our mobile phones are equally important, we use them as MP3s and for chatting and sending messages.




The television is still an important part of our lives.  When we were younger we watched lots of cartoons, like Dragonball Z and other Japanese ones.  We all watch the same sort of programmes, lots of them are series or "reality shows".   We know that a lot of the things we watch are rubbish.




We listen to the radio in the car or the shower and we sometimes read newspapers, though not much, or magazines.  The magazines we read are normally about football or gossip.






When our parents were our age their world was very different.
For them TV was also important but they only had a couple of channels and they were in black and white.  They used to listen to the radio a lot more than us and they read a lot more magazines and comics.
















In general we use a lot more sorts of media than our parents did.  We communicate in many different ways, ways that didn't exist when they were young.  We think we are luckier than they were.
