Dependency theory

I use technology in my daily life. Without the use of Internet would be really difficult as its part of my daily activity. I use the Internet to retrieve information and to also use as an entertainment system e.g YT. I think without Internet life would be dull as its one of the strongest inventions made in mankind. I also communicate with friends using social media e.g whatsapp, Instagram, snapchat etc and communicating with family members around the globe.

Secondly, the Telegraph Article does support the dependency theory as it agrees with the point that the media is so interactive with peoples lives that it has made society feel reliant on it. This is apparent in the line, “These survey results give a clear indication of just how integral the internet now is to people’s lives”. This quote illustrates that people are very much interactive with the internet and therefore, they develop a connection with the internet due to the many features it holds and the many features it can still do. 

However, the quote shows how clear research that has been collected, has had an effect on many individuals lives and this can go for other segments of the media as well such as, T.V or even watches. Overall, the article agrees with the Telegraphs statement as it provides real evidence of peoples thoughts upon the power of the internet and of its importance on their day-to-day life. If I didn't have access to this I would struggle to communicate. I think that the younger generation would be more glued to the Internet as they use it more socially and for entertainment purposes e.g gaming consoles online. I would say it would effect the learning abilities for younger people. Overall I agree to the telegram theory.
