In the opening of the program, we see boys gathering to collaboratively play a military style video game. What characteristics of a computer make it different from other media in the home, such as television, videogames, stereo/radio, magazines and books? How do these characteristics influence:

• How the computer is used in the home?
• Who uses the computer?
• Where the computer is placed?
• How much the computer is used
• How much the computer is used?

The computer is more useful but more difficult than other objects in my home. We use television to watch shows, the radio for information and the magazines to see whats new . What people don`t quite realize is that you can do this in your computer. you can see your tv shows at youtube or Hulu andyou cna see many things that are happening lately in the world just by browsing in Google. the computer cna be used by everyone you just have to be careful on what pages you enter. If a minor uses the computer I think that their parents should be superising. The computers are mainly used for entretainment such as youtube or videogames and for homework. most computers are located in a place that is common. one example is the living room so everyone can go there without asking permission to enter. The average time a person uses the computer is one hour. although there are people that can stay most of the day using it because it becomes an adicction. The computer is mare useful but it can become a problem.
