The RidgiDidge Study is a qualitative research project that addresses the\nquestion of how new media technology figures in the lives of High School students in\nSouth Eastern Queensland. Criticism of young people’s media consumption\nhighlights a preoccupation with effects and behaviour, displaying a failure to\nacknowledge young people as social agents in their own right.

With this in mind, the implementation of this\nframework in the RidgiDidge Study suggests that the domestication of media\ntechnologies is a more useful approach to understanding young people’s media\nconsumption than affordance, social
