During this week we spent a lot of time focusing on our survey that I mentioned in our last post. We decided to focus our survey around people's use of the computer and internet in their homes. Our survey was then distributed via Facebook (most of us just shared a link via our statuses). I was surprised that we only got 23 responses because I thought more people would've been willing to complete the survey.
All in all we concluded that everyone of our respondents owns a computer and all but one had internet access. The survey also concluded that our respondents use their computers and internet access for personal use way more than business or school.
It was interesting to take a look to see how people's use of the internet. In the beginning we always seemed to look at the internet as a source of all of our information. Now it seems that it has shifted to a more entertainment purpose (from our survey).
Bill Tancer focuses his job on finding our such information as to why people are using the internet. I would be interested to see if he compared previous studies of the use of the internet to today's use of the internet and what would be concluded.
