Generational Usage of Facebook & Texting Using Microsoft Office Products to construct Hypothesis, Survey, Analysis, & Presentation of Results EDTC 5103 Jody Burns
Hypothesis: • The younger generation connects daily with friends via Facebook and texting, while the older generation uses these technologies less often.
Survey: • I text a friend at least once a day. • I receive a text from a friend at least once a day. • I log-into Facebook at least once a day. • I update my status on Facebook at least once a day. • I comment on a friend’s Facebook status, picture, note, activity, etc. at least once a day.
Results for Question 1: • I text a friend at least once a day.
Results for Question 2: • I receive a text from a friend at least once a day.
Results for Question 3: • I log-into Facebook at least once a day.
Results for Question 4: • I update my status on Facebook at least once a day.
Results for Question 5: • I comment on a friend’s Facebook status, picture, note, activity, etc. at least once a day.
Survey Conclusions: • The younger generation (13 – 30) does text daily more than the older generation, with the exception of the 41 – 50 age group who texts daily as often as those in the 21 – 30 age group. • Very little difference exists between generations in the number that log-into Facebook daily. • Very little difference exists between generations in the number who update their Facebook status daily. • The largest discrepancy exists in the number who make daily comments on Facebook. The 13 – 20 age group and 41 – 50 age group are almost equal in number. The lowest group is the 21 – 30 age group. I see no generational trends in those making daily comments on Facebook.
Hypothesis Conclusion: Hypothesis: The younger generation connects daily with friends via Facebook and texting, while the older generation uses these technologies less often. The hypothesis is not supported by the data. The 41-50 age group often has similar results as the younger generation, particularly the 21-30 age group.
