Dear all,
I really encourage all of you to spend this hour as it
is not only a crucial part of the process to get your
thoughts and thinking on this but it is also a fun
learning experience for yourself. I just finished it
myself and considered it time well spent despite my
too full schedule.
Maybe this is another incentive: I guess none of
you want me to win this game…:-)

“ “I use the TV and PC/Laptop at home in addition to my tablet. At work, the only screens I have access to are the tablet and the smartphone. I don’t use the work computer for anything non-work related....... Deciding which screen to use at home is mostly about convenience. I find it easier to work on the laptop/pc at home and if I have work, I use those for browsing the web as well... If I don't have work and am in the living room or bedroom, I use the tablet instead. Used to be the laptop a couple of years back, but that’s too big now. The tablet works. TV is at night. Not throughout the day. At work, its the tablet because that is all I have access to and I can connect it to its keyboard dock and place it on my desk, it works as a little netbook. And throughout the day, I have my phone in my pocket. If I want to check something at any time, wherever I might be, I have the option of using it..”

The internet is the device to news users.
The different devices are the conduit or the
window to access the internet
News users are “device agnostic”.
