Plenary
Internet Users & Television Users
Internet Users are seen to be active as they are able to play a part in things they are interacting with. they are able to make their own decisions on the way they may want things to be like and what they want to view and certain times. Internet Users are not only seen as consumers but also producers these can be seen from websites such as Wikipedia, Youtube and Social Networking sites.
Television Users are seen as being passive as they take in the information that is given to them, all though they have less control on situations that are occurring as they are not able to take control on what goes on and how.
