Quick round up of goings on - we have now began our first project of 3rd Year called 'Digital Natives'. It is a research based project and will basically be looking into how my generation (aged 25 and under) have grown up with technology and how this has changed the way we communicate, behave and live. It will include looking at mobile phones, MP3 players, computers, digital cameras etc. Things that haven't been around for all that long.
Its a group project, I'm working with Craig and we have to use focus groups, observations, interviews and questionnaires as our main research tools. I'm finding it a really interesting project so far, hopefully we'll find out some interesting stuff.

A little something.
