Quotes against the code convenience

Betty“I think because I'm already signed up to Facebook. If you go on the forums, you have to sign up and answer questions from e-mails. It takes twenty minutes before you can even write something. So, it would take too long if something was in your head and you wanted to say it”
“I always just use Google because it's easier, it's on my phone”
Lizzy“I used to get books on everything, but it is just easier to go directly online, rather than to read a whole book”
Celina“It was handier to get the book than the laptop when the book was here. I just looked it up quickly”
“No [the newsletter] just comes to my phone, and if I am on the toilet, I can read it. So, if I only had it on my laptop and my box was full of newsletters, then it might be a nuisance, but it comes to my phone, so it is very handy”
“Babycentre is so easy for me, and I know it, so I just go there”
Susan“I mean obviously, I look at the Internet quite a bit with things because it's just at your fingertips”
Janet“I've two very small children, so actually getting out is not as easy as it was. I think that's possibly one of the main reasons why I'm reverting to some of these forums, instead of attending these groups, it is because I just can't get to them”
Lily“I would buy my shopping online. I'm doing it now because I was sick at the start and now it's just easier getting a big shop delivered because you don't have to lift all the stuff yourself”
“We have an account with Amazon, so it is just easier; you don't have to put in all your details again”
“I don't hate computers; I mean it is just more of an effort to turn it on. It's not the first place I think to go in terms of looking for information”
Mary“Yeah, [the newsletter] comes and I always look at it. I find it actually very convenient”
“Since I went back to work which was before she turned one, I wasn't always reading the weekly newsletters…. because again, lack of time”
“For the health stuff, I would look a lot at the Internet because it's easier. It's just accessible anytime”
“I suppose I would talk to people more about general information because it comes up in conversation as well”
