Projektet havde til formål at undersøge sammenhængen mellem hvordan forskellige generationer interagerer med smartphones, og hvorvidt de selv oplever, at det påvirker deres hukommelse og koncentration. Hertil gjorde vi brug af interview med baggrund i postfænomenologien, og det eksperimentelle design. Dog grundet projektets begrænsninger kan vi ikke konkludere noget konkret omkring de forskellige generationers interaktion med deres smartphone, deres oplevelse af koncentration og hukommelse eller sammenhængen derimellem. I vores undersøgelser fandt vi dog mulige tendenser i informanternes udtalelser, der kunne tyde på en lineær tendens i generationernes interaktion med smartphonen. Den yngste generation af vores informanter virkede til at være tættest knyttet til deres smartphone. Denne mulige tætte tilknytning til smartphonen fandt vi også at kunne give tegn på at være forbundet med, hvad der tyder på at være en oplevelse af forringet koncentration og hukommelse. Informanter der tyder på ikke at være tæt tilknyttet til deres smartphone, hvoraf den ældste generation af vores informanter giver mest tegn på dette, lader også til ikke at opleve en forringet koncentration og hukommelseThe purpose of this project is to investigate the connection between different generations’ interaction with their smartphones, and whether they feel this interaction has an impact on their concentration and memory. This was done by using interviews, based on postphenomenology, and the experimental design. However, due to the limitations of this project, we cannot draw any definitive conclusion regarding the different generations’ interaction with their smartphones, their experienced negative effect on their memory and concentration nor the possible link between these. In our studies we found possible tendencies in the statements of our informants, which could point to a linear tendency in the generations’ interaction with their smartphone. Our informants from the youngest generation, appeared to be most closely attached to their smartphones. We found that this plausible attachment, could possibly be connected to what seemingly appears to be an impaired concentration and memory. Informants who seem to be less closely attached to their smartphones, such as our informants from the oldest generation, do also not seem to experience an impaired concentration or memory
