Caroline-favourite-computer, cell
-least favourite-television
-no way of communicating with friends or family through the television

The computer is probably used most because though my mom doesn't necessarily enjoy using it she still has to for paying bills, or checking her email when she is off work and I use it for means of communication, or entertainment purposes.

My digital camera is used the least because my mom never uses it due to the fact that it isn't the first thing that enters her mind when she is going somewhere of significance and I rarely use it, I pretty much only use it when I am going somewhere I want to remember, somewhere of significance to me.

Children of different ages and sexes most likely appreciate different media products more or less because their interests differ greatly. Girls at the age of six will be playing with dolls while boys will be playing with cars or trucks. Girls at the age of fourteen will more likely be using the phone or computer while boys will be playing with video games, or on the computer for means of entertainment.
