Mobile Me & You Project (Streaming Apps) Part III |Mobile Reputations course | AD & PR Lab
More and more trends overwhelm our contemporary world. In the purposes of our course ‘’Mobile Reputations’’, we, as students of AD&PR Lab of Panteion University , run a survey in order to investigate the usage that the Millennials do in their self phones. Specifically we choose to focus on streaming platforms by interviewing 10 persons in order to meet the needs of our project. In this section we will focus on the Millenial Tammy.
Tammy is 32 years old. She has a degree in Social and Political sciences from Tbilisi State University in Georgia. She lives on her phone as she is alone in her shop 12 hours daily except Sunday. “I would feel tied up if I didn’t have my mobile phone“ she says. She’s not surprised of the nine hours screen time.
She doesn’t use her phone to organize her day. The first thing she looks at is how many hours she has slept. If it’s under six hours she closes the shop earlier to get some sleep. She then has her coffee while looking at Facebook to find out what has happened in her country via different friends she has in different newspapers and magazines in her country as well as the city she presently resides.Then she looks at her Facebook account of her shop to see how many people view it. She doesn’t use complementary gadgets. She also favors her mobile phone to other devices.
She enjoys sharing photos of her plants and flower Arrangements, which helped her greatly as she gets feedback and orders online. She also uses the phone to help her make different flower arrangements. She reads up on everything about plants and their care.
Her phone is her main communication tool for expanding her customers and keeping in touch with family back home in Georgia as well as here in Greece. Even when she is with friends, she uses her phone for pictures and selfie‘s. She doesn’t feel homesick as her phone allows her to share special moments and leave certainly unique moments live via Viber and Messenger. She doesn’t use sharing apps. However, she follows influencers, mainly celebrities from all over the world, just to pass the time as it is just entertaining.
She uses her phone for online purchases for gifts for friends and family, home items and clothing on Assos. Moreover she does online banking for utilities. She also uses streaming apps like rustavi 2 live from Google and Safari to watch news and series in her language and Netflix for movies for about 4 hours.Tammy feels she uses her phone in a similar way as her friends — mainly for information, communication and entertainment. However she is on it constantly as it is her main company during the day. It is her link to the world and her teacher
