Which is the least favourite?

The cell phone is the least favourite. Although Kristen, Geoff and I have our own, my parents and Scott share one and only use it for emergencies. I rarely use my cell phone to just “chat” with friends.

Do children of different ages or sexes prefer different items? Why?

I do believe sex and age play a part in media item preferences. My parents use the phone the most since it was the only thing available to them when they grew up.

My siblings and I use the computer the most since we find it the “eastiest” tool to use because we have grown up with it.
