Last week you took a survey on Digital Media Etiquette. Here's the results:

Take a look at them and compare them to the Pew Research Center results. http://www.pewinternet.org/files/2015/08/2015-08-26_mobile-etiquette_FINAL.pdf Starts on page 3. Compare and contrast one example from both surveys and give your opinion on what you think it means.
The Pew research center made a survey just like we took a digital Etiquette survey. They both have similar questions. They both have responses from cell phone users that say they use their phones during social activities, like reading a text or email for example. They also share a similar response on how people barely turn off their cell phones. To me, this shows that everyone's life nowadays is surrounded among their cellphones. We also see in pews survey that more people, ages 18-29, find it ok to use their cell phones at dinner. I feel like this is what molds the younger people to do the same thing. Dinner should be for talking to loved ones and sharing conversations not to be on our cell phones. I've been brought up to not use my phone at the dinner table and I will make sure it continues through my adulthood.
ReplyDeleteIn both the surveys, more than 65% of people who use their phones while in public frequently or occasionally look up information about where they are going. Even though often using your phone in public can be both dangerous (for instance if you are walking) and rude towards the ones who surround you, I think it's positive if people use it to be prepared about what they’re about to do because it lets them live that in a more serious and deeper way, which is not taken for granted.
ReplyDeleteThe Pew Research Center created a survey very similar to the one we just took on Digital Etiquette. Both surveys have responses from cell phone users that use phones in a social setting. For Pew's survey, the percentage that adults think it's ok to use cellphones in a public space, like public transportation, is 75%. In our survey, frequently, it is 58.3%. To be honest, I think it is totally fine but not good at the same time to use our cellphones on the bus. On the positive end, we get to occupy ourselves and listen to music, instead of staring out into the window or not catching people staring at you. On the opposite end, you wouldn't know where you are, and what if you missed your stop. You also just need to pay attention to your surroundings. It would be completely different if you were with someone else and wouldn't have to worry so much. That other person, your friend or family member, can keep you company and talk to you or listen to music together. Either one of you could watch out for the stop. Using our phones can be very dangerous though when you're on the bus or train at night. So like I mentioned before, bring someone or just put those earbuds in and pay attention.
ReplyDeleteThe Pew Research Center made a survey very similar to the Digital Media Ettiquette Survey. Both surveys emphasize on how people are glued to their phones. However, in the Digital Media survey it shows how it is considered "okay" to use your phone. In my opinion, I don't believe that to be true. We shouldn't always be attached to our phone, whether we are crossing the street or at a social gathering. It is unhealthy to rely on our phone for most of the time. Nonetheless, I do think both these surveys are trying to show us how bad it could be to constantly be using our phone.
ReplyDeleteThe Pew Research and the Digital Media Ettiqette are similar. they both show how are always using our phone and sometimes he never get off it. today we can't live without our phones. In my opinion, people should get to know there surroundings better because we never know who is next to you on the train or bus or walking. We need to be carful about that.
ReplyDeleteThe Pew Research and The Digital Media Etiquette Survey are very similar because on the pew research shows that 61% of people read a message such as a text or an email. In the digital media survey 66.7% of people read a message such as a text or an email. I believe this means that almost 100% of the time people check their phones to read a message such as a text or an email.
ReplyDeleteIn the Pew Research and The Digital Media Etiquette Survey 89% of the people who took the survey did one of the many things for electronics: browse the web, checking for texts/emails...etc. In our survey majority of those who took our survey used technology to browse the web,download music, photo editing, digital art, and animation. This just shows you how different everything is now. We use technology with every little thing possible. It's dangerous just because you never know who can steal from you. I grew up with not really using my technology especially with family members around just because its rude.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that is different about the survey conducted by the Pew research center, and the survey conducted by Saint Saviour High school is the questions about phone usage during social outings. While only 25% of people said they had browsed the web during a social outing on the Pew research center survey. 58.9% of people in our computer class said they had browsed the web during a social gathering. This is probably because the Pew research center had a less biased group of survey takers, while we only had young people in our class taking the survey
