Introduction

This paper compares the behavior of old and young people in regard to using blackberry messenger. The writer observes and records multi-tasking habits of six characters used for this study. The six characters comprise of three young people and three old people. The characters form two categories of people; young and old, which incidentally is the focus of the study.

As a more sensitized user of Blackberry messenger, I will use this paper to draw a comparison between my own habits with the Blackberry Messenger and the older people. The modern lifestyle continues to put more demands to people. The demands require more time on economically productive activities than socialization.

Technology has come in handy in bridging the gap through the social media. “Internet on the go” supported by the blackberry provides a reliable solution for staying in touch with the loved ones from anywhere (Mittal and Gupta 2010). The table below illustrates the reflections on my own use of the blackberry messenger compared with how old people use it.

Situation, Reflection and Observation

Situation	Reflection		Observation
Social networking	The Blackberry messenger enables me to keep in touch with my peers through emails, chatting and following their updates. The device is portable, user friendly and one I can multi-task with it i.e., use it as I cook, listen to music and watch TV		The first old person observed, was seen using the blackberry and at the same time listening to radio. He enjoyed the music at the same time chatting with friends on the blackberry.
Habit	Repeated use of the blackberry messenger develops into dependence. Addiction to the device impairs ones human relations skills.		The second one was talking to a friend while using the blackberry messenger. He was more focused to the conversation than on browsing. The third used the blackberry while watching the TV. She seemed to be more interested in the information on the blackberry than what was on TV. She made quick and short stares at TV as she browsed on the blackberry.
Recreation		Blackberry messenger a vital recreational device. Besides keeping in touch with my peers, the device serves as a form of entertainment.		All the three older people observed seemed to use the blackberry as a form of recreation gadget besides the other interest they wanted to achieve.

Conclusion

The blackberry messenger is increasingly gaining fame as a social networking media both to the youths and the older people. The most attractive aspect of the device is the portability which allows one to use it anywhere anytime. The frequency of use of the blackberry is much higher among the youths than the older people. Young people use the device more for social networking and dating.
