Related to my last post and our discussion about social
media in the last lecture, I started a small online survey to find out how
people use social media, how often they do so, what they do online, and what they
like/dislike about it. The survey can be found here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2BBDFHC
To sum up the results, most people are using 2 social media networks, and they are using them at least daily, mostly several times a day. Everyone who participated in the survey says that they use social media to stay in contact with friends, the second most popular reason is for university/school/work. Despite my initial expectations only a minority use social media for job searching. When I asked about the best aspect of social media, the opinions were all the same: to stay in contact. On the other hand, the most negative aspect seems to be the collection of user data. Although, people use Facebook daily, they are concerned about what happens to their data and do not want them to become public. I am convinced that the public debate about private settings will continue in the future.
In total the results are not surprising at all and fits
perfectly to my own opinion.
