  2002

  Of interest in No. 7 are two articles:

  • Uwe Domke and Christoph Wild, “Fernsehen braucht Radio” [TV needs Radio] (pp. 294-307). On the basis of two different methodologies, researchers show the effects of radio in conjunction with the mix of television. Radio as the every day source of information has a direct impact on our decision making process just shortly before a product is being purchased. Radio has an impact on us by sounds which helps us to recognize this pattern in television. This means that we associate a certain sound to a so called visual-transfer-effect, which allows radio spots to support television images or commercial advertisements to be more effective. Radio and television aren’t really competitors when it comes to something like beer. No, they help each other out in one way or the other. Television is being used to store certain pictures into our long time memory while the radio on the other hand are short term sources to increase the sales.

  No. 8 reports a number of studies dealing with online behaviors.

  • Birgit van Eimeren, Heinz Gerhard, and Beate Frees, “Entwicklung der Onlinenutzung in Deutschland: Mehr Routine, weniger Entdeckerfreude.” [Development of online usage in Germany: More routine, less enthusiasm] (pp. 346-362). This article gives the currently valid data about the Internet usage in Germany. Within the last six years, Internet practice has grown up to seven times. Nothing less than the cell phone and the Internet has reached this fast a growth rate in technology; however, the overall growing has slowed down. Data show that the Internet is being used mainly by young, educated, employed men. While the first years of Internet were exciting, the Internet has become another tool for a typical medium type like print, and the surfer has given secularizing usage its way. The Internet has become the medium for emails as well as for searches. Even when the daily Internet usage has grown up to 35 minutes per adult citizen, the overall growing rate of the Internet has slowed down. Internet access currently is limited to computers, and other peripherals that could have the Internet included are following very slowly. Internet users expect that the classical form of print, TV, and radio will have advertising in the near future. We can see a drastically market transfer from the classical form to the Internet.
  • Maria Gerhards and Annette Mende, “Nichtnutzer von Online: Kern von Internetverweigerern” [Non-users of online resources: The core of Internet deniers] (pp. 363-375). Most parts of Germany still live without Internet access. The growth rate of the Internet has slowed down. There is a split within the social class which we call “Off-liners.” There are several reasons causing the “Off-liners” to be separated from the Internet. First, cost is a tremendous influence on the growing rate for young “Off-liners.” An affordable plan like a price cut for the equipment as well as the Internet service is expected in the future. Secondly, the requirement of complex abilities has a tremendous effect on “Off-liners.” No other medium requires routines and deep knowledge on how to use it. Thirdly, “Off-liners” feel there is no need in exploring the Internet because they do have classical media like TV, radio, and print. The classical sources are doing their work just fine; however, additional programs are offered to Internet off-liners to overcome their fear in exploring new media.
  • Christian Breunig, “Onlineangebot fuer Kinder” [Online market for children] (pp. 389-402). Breunig argues that children in the future will still use TV and radio, but Internet communication will have an increasing trend in their social activities. Search engines for kids shouldn’t have any commercial aspects, but without any sponsor those websites have over the last couple years declined in their development and some of them have shut down. Mass media Internet pages have a better financial security which helps them developing more specialized children’s websites. Public media websites like radio are under the strongest control in having a commercial, violence free education center. His research asks for websites that are more clearly designed to return back to the home page, for example. This allows even smaller children to search for information on the special designed World Wide Web for children. Current analysis shows that the daily Internet usage has increased in the last years; in addition, the time budget will continuously increase. In 2002, children between the age 6 and 13 years live in households where a PC exists. Parents welcome the Internet as source for future education and an increasing use of this media by young children is expected.
