Hypotheses

Hypothesis #1:› Younger generations use social media to

connect with others and entertainment. Older generations either do not use social media or use social media to stay in contact with younger generations.

Hypothesis #2:› Younger generations feel that cellular devices

are necessary for day-to-day functioning and entertainment. Older generations feel that cellular devices are necessary to communicate with others (i.e. make phone calls and/or text).

Creating the Survey My 14 question survey was created using Google

Docs’ survey form template. I loved the user friendly features of the template and also the ability to personalize the survey.

Page 4: Module 7: Office Productivity Tools

Administering the Survey

I administered my survey via several different outlets› Facebook

Facebook is the only social media network that I currently belong to. Since the majority of my close friends are on Facebook I thought this would be a great way to get instant feedback.

› Email Part of my hypothesis is that older generations

do not use social media, so I sent emails out to people who are not part of my social networking circles

Summary of Survey Respondents

23 people responded to my survey within the first 24 hours.› I discarded two people’s responses

because the data recorded by Google docs contained dates for each numerical response

Information from 21 people was used to test my hypotheses.› 14 younger generation (ages 11-40)› 7 older generation (ages 41+)

Hypothesis #1: Summary Younger generation = 11- 40

› 100% belong to a social media network› Majority joined a social media network to connect with old friends› Majority strongly agree that they depend on social media to stay connected

with others› Majority strongly agree that they depend on social media to keep in touch

with others› Majority disagree that social media is primarily for younger generations

Older generation = 41+› 57% belong to a social media network› Majority joined a social network to connect with family› Do not overwhelmingly depend on social media to stay connected with

others Equal distribution: Agree, Neutral, and Strongly disagree

› Do not overwhelmingly depend on social media to keep in touch with others Equal distribution: Strongly agree, Neutral, and Strongly disagree

Hypothesis #2: Summary

Younger Generation = 11-40› 92% own cellular devices; of that 69% own smart phones› Majority strongly agree that they depend on their cellular devices on a daily

basis› Majority do not play games on their cellular devices› No majority attested that a cellular device’s main function is to make phone

calls 28.5%: Strongly agree, Agree, and Disagree equally

› Majority use their cellular devices for texting purposes

Older Generation = 41+› 85% own cellular devices; of that 66% own smart phones› Majority strongly agree that they depend on their cellular devices on a daily

basis› Majority do not play games on their cellular devices› Majority agree that a cellular device’s main function is to make phone calls› Majority use their cellular devices for phone calls and checking e-mails

Analysis

•Conclusion• Hypothesis #1• Hypothesis #2

•Reflection

Page 23: Module 7: Office Productivity Tools

Conclusion Hypothesis #1:

› Based on the data gathered, I believe that my initial hypothesis was false. Younger generations primarily use social media

to connect with old friends, and only one person listed entertainment purposes as a reason they joined.

The majority of older generation respondents do belong to a social media network and listed connecting with family as the main reason why.

Older generation appears to use social media as a source of entertainment more so than younger generations.

Page 24: Module 7: Office Productivity Tools

Conclusion

Hypothesis #2:› Based on the data gathered, I believe that my

initial hypothesis was mostly true. The majority of younger generation respondents

strongly agreed that they depend on their cellular devices on a daily basis, but the majority do not play games on their cellular devices.

The majority of older generation respondents agreed that a cellular device’s main function is to make phone calls. That was also reflected in how they use their cellular devices on a daily basis, which was to make phone calls and check e-mails (communication).

Page 25: Module 7: Office Productivity Tools

Reflection: Changes to be Made

My hypotheses are broad and lengthy. I should have narrowed them down to one topic and one parameter within each topic.

I probably would have liked to hand out paper copies of the survey instead of completing the survey online. The reason for this being, I know several people who do not have access to the internet outside of their workplace. Also, by administering the survey via Facebook, I was already skewing the results of my first hypothesis.

I would have included more demographic questions in my survey, such as gender and ethnicity.

Even though I had a proofreader, I found that several of my questions could be misleading. In the future, I would make sure that each question is neutral.
