Darcey: My favourite gadgets are my phone and my laptop, because I’m always texting people like my friends and my aunties and my cousins.
William: Mine is my PS3 and my laptop. I don’t spend that much time on it because my sister is older, she is on it the most, and me and my brother take turns on the PS3. I play Call of Duty, that’s an army game, and Fifa.
Chloe: I text my nanna, but she doesn’t know how to pick up the phone.
Darcey: I text nearly everyone on my school bus.
Chloe: I only have my aunties, my cousins and my sister’s friend that I text all the time.
Tyler: I deleted him (William) because he texts me too much.
William: You text back!
Chloe: My cousin doesn’t text me back when I text him. It’s just that because I am his wee cousin, he doesn’t like to talk to me.
Darcey: I text people when they say they got texts and then I text them and then they text me.
Jay: I hardly sent any texts.
Tyler: The most I have done is about 100 to one person.
Darcey: I don’t count how many texts I send. Since Boxing Day I had 300 texts and on 7 January I only had five left.
Chloe: I get 132 texts every month.
Jay: I hardly text anybody!
Darcey: When I get more money on my phone, then I get unlimited texts.
Jay: I just phone people if I need to, and that’s pretty much it.
Tyler: I just phoned my dad there.
William: I did that with my dad when he was on the bus.
Jay: I could live without my phone.
Darcey: I couldn’t.
Chloe: I couldn’t either.
William: I download songs onto my phone nearly every Saturday.
Jay: If you want music, just stick on the CD player.
Tyler: I think we could live without it - because we could just walk to one of our pals because, most of them, we know where they live.
Jay: Because I don’t send 295 texts in two weeks or something. I maybe texted two per year.
Tyler: That’s just crazy.
Darcey: I also have a DS, but I don’t really go on the internet with mine.
Jay: I use my X-Box. I play Fifa. You can play when it’s raining, you can play Fifa in any weather.
Darcey: I am rubbish at it, I can’t do it. I just go out and fling the ball at my cousin. Tyler: You should be playing girls’ games.
Chloe: Not all girls play girls’ games. My room doesn’t look like a girl’s room - it’s messy.
Jay: They should be playing with Barbies and dolls and stuff.
Chloe: I gave that away five years ago.
Darcey: I gave that away to my little cousin, and she’s only two, and I gave it away to her two years ago. I play car games and everything. Even my iPod has got Fifa on it and Grand Theft Auto.
Jay: We play a lot of things.
Chloe: Most things you can imagine that boys play. Like “The alien comes to earth” or something.
William: That’s not a game.
Chloe: Girls can play anything that boys can.
Tyler: You couldn’t jump off the World Trade Centre, nobody could do that.
