Michael Stitchen, 18, from East London has had 4 Blackberry's. He believes that phones make the people. He also reckons that,


 'Phones make people because they force you to live a different lifestyle..' 


Just like name brands and trainers you have to be 'with' the current trends in order to do this you have to conform and get the latest phone and buy that app that everyone is talking about. Michael also says 


'You can earn respect or people will associate you with wealth and money because of the phones you have.'

When talking to Michael and Abigail about their daily lives and why they have they're phones they both gave me a one lined sentence that made me think 'Hmm ok then'! When asking Michael why he didn't stop at the second Blackberry, and if he knew they were going to keep packing up why get another one? He said 'Nah man I cant live without my BB, I cant go one day without my phone. I also Abigail why she had an iPhone and Blackberry and she said 'Firstly I cant live without them its like living without oxygen! They're both two of the most used and common  phones out right now so i has to get both 1 wouldn't just do!
