AMANDA HYNAN FINAL THESIS PDF

Amanda: So have you ever used email or Facebook if you’ve been in a faceto-face
conversation and you feel that you haven’t had a chance to say
everything that you wanted to say would you maybe send somebody an email
or say something to them on Facebook later
Nancy: “yes”
Caroline’s blog
I read what everyone is up to, I like or write comments, and look at photos.
I like that because I communicate equally with everyone.
Amanda: and I sometimes wonder whether with things like live chat and
things when lots of people are all chatting at the same time and with MSN it
means you‘ve got time to get your message ready and to be able to join in
conversations
Ben: ‘yes’ (smiles and nods head)
Amanda: does that make it um does it make it easier for you to feel that you’ve
got time for you to say what you want to say
Ben: ‘yes’ (nods head)
Amanda: and you can make your message as long as you like
Ben: ‘yes’ (nods head)
Amanda: so do you think it’s added more to the amount of things that you can
talk to people about
Ben: ‘yes’ (nods head)
Amanda: when you say it helps you to talk to people, you can say more, you
can say it faster, you can have time to do it, I mean what sort of things about it
do you like
Moira: “It shows people that how they have to wait to hear what I say”
