TECHNOPHOBES

BBC Three is launching a new program called “Technophobes”, following the lives of five people who are afraid of technology.  

Audience:  This program will appeal  to people who are either good with technology as they would want to know why these 5 people are afraid of technology, or either people who are afraid of technology themselves. I believe this program will only appeal to teenagers as they are the younger generation so there for are more into technology, and therefor would surprise then seeing people who are afraid of technology.  

Institution:  Because it would be broadcasted on BBC 3 I believe it would appeal to a number of different audiences rather than just teenagers as BBC3 is a well watch TV channel which people usually watch documentaries.

Representation:  I would expect this program to be interesting for those who have settled well into the new advanced technology, as it would entertain them seeing others who still have not been able to. I also think it will have good chances of appealing to different audiences such as old people who have lived through the technology created in the past century there for they have lived, watch through the more and more advanced technology created throughout the years. There for the older audience may find it interesting to watch this program as they may also feel the same.

Review:  This is a joke, people are not accepting the fact that technology is being advanced for our own benefit.. I don’t understand why and how you can be afraid of things made by humans, when you are a human yourself. However I do agree and respect that old people may seem frightened as they are being newly introduced to the advanced technology as when they were teenagers TV was in black and white. But for adults living in this century and being scared of technology is weird. It’s nothing to be scared of it’s just a way of media which is created for us, for our own benefits and we should accept it with a smile.
