Survey+Findings

=Survey Findings= // What did the survey tell us? //

Our **survey** was conducted using [|PollDaddy] and was taken by **112** //participants//, which is a significant **random sampling** of our target //audience//. For an **overview** of the **survey** //results//, please **click** [|HERE]. The **results** of the survey helped us **refine** our //primary// idea in the **following aspects**:


 * __Designing a Website for the Right Age Group:__ **

According to the //results// of the ** Tech ****Nation ** **survey**, **73%** of our //participants// fall in between the age group of 18-21. This means that we need to provide a **professional**, yet **intriguing** and **interactive** design that will **appeal** to //young adults//, which is what we //anticipated// our //target// audience to be. The results of **question 1** (Age) of the survey are portrayed in the **graph** below.

Looking at the //results// of the ** Tech ****Nation ** **survey**, the //questions// concerning **cell phones** and **laptops** helped us create a more **specific focus point**. Initially, the primary idea was to include most **commonly** used technologies by //young adults//, specially //university students//, which is our **target** audience. But looking at the //results// of **questions 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9**, we decided that it would be much more **efficient** and **effective** to start of with and **focus** on **ONE** specific //technology//. Since it was evident that there are **more** //cell phone// owners than //laptop// owners, we decided to **focus** on **cell phones**.
 * __Specificity:__**


 * Questions** 2,3,4,6,7,8 were as //follows//:
 * **Q.2** How often do you get a new cell phone?
 * **Q.3** Why did you get another cell phone?
 * **Q.4** What is the condition of your old cell phone? (Or current cell phone if you only have one)
 * **Q.6** Do you own a laptop?
 * **Q.7** If you purchased a new laptop, what would you do with your old one?
 * **Q.8** How many laptops have you and your family purchased within the last 5 years?
 * **Q.9** Please check off all the other technologies that you (or someone in your household) own.

**__Focus on a Scenario Concerning Rogers:__** According to the //results// of the ** Tech ****Nation ** **survey**, most of our //participants// (**53%**) have **Rogers** as their cell phone //service provider//. This observation can be seen by the **graph below** from **question 5**. (Who is your cell phone service provider?) We decided to investigate whether having a Rogers plan (versus having a plan with another phone provider) contributed to a lower chance of donating. Through this research, we learned that indeed Rogers customers were more uneasy about donating their old phones because of safety or security concerns. We further investigated this concern in our scenario #4.




 * __ Moving from Third World to Donations in General: __**

The //results// of the ** Tech ****Nation ** **survey** for the **final** //question// was //irrelevant// because of the //change// to our proposal. Donations **specifically** for third world countries difference due to the **digital divide**) became a more **broader** spectrum of //donations//. The //purpose// of **reusing** or **recycling** was applied to donating cell phones
