It helps us consider what audience to target specifically in order to advertise, entertain

and help people save money or if that one person has no desire to upgrade due to their
attachment to the product. Especially, if there are memories attached to that device. Furthermore,
educating others on how to repair devices for their own benefits such as saving money, giving
this product as a gift to a younger sibling, etc. It is important to include instructional images,
videos and short and straight-forward texts that keeps these instructions simple in order to keep
the audience engaged. Organization and format of the images, videos and text is highly important
when giving instructions.
