similarities and differences
Similarities and Differences Nowadays, people depend more on technologies. Almost everyone has at least one hardware and software. How do people use those technologies and how do they think?

Melville points out that a lot of people have an iPod and use it whenever they want to listen to their own music. She talks about Andrea Kozek who nicknamed her iPod “My Precious” listening to the iPod whenever she needs to block out the rest of the world. In the like way, Stites shows that she belongs to a lot of online continuities and always keeps track on either phone and computer. Stites explain to us how she use Dodgeball, Facebook, and many other online dating websites. The third one is both articles have a number of supporting ideas.
