why would you not use it
(20 seconds) “got Facebook”
so you prefer Facebook, is that right do you prefer Facebook
‘yes’ (nods head)
why do you prefer Facebook
(30 seconds) “don’t know”
Mmm, I wonder if it’s cos you said you like showing pictures I wonder
if it’s…
(no response, looks away from Amanda and then turns and stares)
I guess there’s more you can do with Facebook than Twitter, it’s just
like one comment on Twitter
(smiles)
I prefer Facebook as well I think cos I like to see more about people.
So what else have people told me that I’d like to double check with
you. Oh some people have told me that they like being online because
they can find out information for themselves so they feel more
independent. What do you think about that
( 52 second pause) “It’s easier for college work”
mm that makes sense. Yes cos I was talking to (head of technology)
earlier and he was saying you are all on a college domain so you can
have all your college files and everything all stored on and then you
can access straight through here (pointing to communication aid) into
your college work and college files. So um so we’re just coming to the
end of our time together what um if you were wanted to give me one
sentence that summed up all your thoughts about being online and the
difference it has made to your life what would you tell me about it. If I
was an alien who had come down from outer space and I didn’t know
anything about it
(30 seconds) “good I can talk family”
okay yup, especially when you are here I imagine
(smiles)
Does it make a big difference
‘yes’ (nods head)
