TEENAGE ISSUESTECHNOLOGY

By Joseph Perry 9CKMedia

This news story is all about technology and how it is slowly taking over teenagers life's. This will be written in the form of a news report. The main gadget I look at is the I-Pad, as this is a key example of the whole story, it can do almost everything in a click of a button. The whole point of this news story is that you no longer need to get up and find a dictionary to find the definition for a word because you have a gadget that can do almost everything. This is making the teenagers of our generation quite lazy, you don't see someone asking there mate to come and play football, you usually see them asking to come round and play on a console! So with all of this technology coming into place now and what is happening with the teenagers, you can only expect bad things in the future for the new generation. In my opinion this is definitely a 'Teenage Issue'!

ConclusionConclusionPicture(1,2,3,4): I wanted to show in a few pictures how just one gadget can do almost everything that we had to do before. From finding a definition of a word to playing cards on an I-Pad. The target audience for this is teenagers and you may be thinking why I would put this in the form of a news report. But I want the teenagers to see the truth and actually think about the problem that is happening. That is the benefit of this it shows the teenagers what is really happening!Picture(5): This picture is also showing one big problem with technology, being anti-social. With using the gadgets all the time you get shut out of the real world, many parents would agree with me!Picture(6,7): These two pictures show the other problem...being inactive!

It is showing the main factor in why we are lazy, technology always takes one step over activity!This is my plan for the magazine 'Teenage Issues'. By Joseph Perry 9CK Media
