This article was fun to read because I could relate to it somewhat and see that my brother does some of those things as well. How Teenagers Consume Media: the report that shook the city discusses how teenagers use the media. I found it interesting that teenagers find ways to watch movies, and listen to music without having to pay for it. They know plenty of ways to take advantage of the Internet and its resources. It is easier for teens not to be big consumers of the media, because they don’t have the money to use things like the picture mail, video messaging, and video calling. The article goes on to mention that teenagers don’t watch much television, unless it is during football season or during a show’s season. The article states that teenagers watch an estimated 5 hours of television in a week’s time. I thought that it would have been more, but now there are game consoles and computers it brings down the average hours of television watched. Which I guess a day would consist of a bit of everything. “99% of teenagers have a mobile phone and most are quite capable phones.” (Robson 5). Wow! Mostly all teenagers have a cell-phone. I didn’t think that it would be such a high number, but now cell phones are much more accessible and the prices aren’t too high. There are a variety of cell phones and each has its different features to fit the needs of the individual.

Question #2
