The video was created by Ashley Palmarchetty, Andrew Owusu & Adrianna Spyker:
“In this video, our focus lies on the good ol’ cellular phone. As this is a project for media literacy, we found it valuable to shed light on the predominating voice of society, that immensely correlates with the media: this we consider to be the cellphone! From social networking to texting and calling: these forms of communication are now the initial choice for people and we are starting to see this become, more and more, common. Not only do we focus on an in-depth look of how cellphones are impacting the younger generation of today, but we also obtain the perspective of the youth, themselves. It is quite powerful to hear from the younger generation and to find a medium in all of what they say. Most importantly, it is awesome to hear that even though they are extremely addicted to their cellphones, they do have concerns surrounding excessive use and would ultimately like to see a change.”
