Microsoft Office ProjectCell Phones Meg Melton Oklahoma State University EDTC 5103 Dr Angel Kymes
Hypothesis Older people primarily use cellular phones “for emergency use only.” Younger users use their phones for everything from camera to calculator to alarm clock and rarely use the telephone capabilities.
Hypothesis Respondents were asked to answer the questions using the following scale: 1 Strongly Disagree 2 Disagree 3 Neutral 4 Agree 5 Strongly Agree
Gender & Country All respondents were from the USA 8 male 12 female
Question 1 I rarely use my cell phone as a phone. 1 Strongly Disagree 2 Disagree 3 Neutral 4 Agree 5 Strongly Agree
Question 2 My “life” is inside my cell phone 1 Strongly Disagree 2 Disagree 3 Neutral 4 Agree 5 Strongly Agree
Question 3 I would rather text than talk on my cell phone. 1 Strongly Disagree 2 Disagree 3 Neutral 4 Agree 5 Strongly Agree
Question 4 I frequently leave the house without my cell phone 1 Strongly Disagree 2 Disagree 3 Neutral 4 Agree 5 Strongly Agree
Question 5 The use of cell phones should be banned in school 1 Strongly Disagree 2 Disagree 3 Neutral 4 Agree 5 Strongly Agree
Hypothesis analysis I believe that the statistics of this study confirm my hypothesis that the younger the cell phone user, the more likely they are to use their phone for just about everything except the telephone capabilities. In all fairness I should point out that all of these respondents, with the exception of the 2 “under 20” year olds, were teachers, which, I believe, is the reason that last question was skewed so heavily to ban cell phones from school. If this had been a more random sampling of the general public, I believe those responses would have been more evenly distributed. I also think that if this had been a sampling of general public there would have been more than 2 “under 20” respondents which would, therefore, more evenly balance the responses.
