1)My primary use of the media would be for both information and entertainment as i'm constantly reading the news or watching something on netflix.Also, both info and entertainment can be delivered at the same time for example different channels on youtube offer news on games with actual gameplay going on as well.
2) I believe we are very dependent on the media but this is inevitable as technology is advancing, therefore in order to keep up with it we have to spend more money on the new appliances that offer it. However, we are dependent on the media for the wrong reasons for example gossip from tv shows ect... when really we should use the media to do good but people would rather listen to which celebrity has had an affair.
3) It's not that the dependency has changed as people have always been dependent on the media eg: during the second world war with newspapers and the radio and people always will be, its just that now the media is more available and in different ways for instance with e-media on phones and tablets.
4) The article supports it but also exaggerates it as people will be able to cope without the internet in some circumstances and some under 25's don't have a reliable source to the media as the internet is expensive to receive so not all people are dependent on it.
