Update on Survey

Link to my survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/285D2Q2

Update: My initial hypothesis for the experiment has proven to be correct. Most people directly correlate almost all of the technology in their lives as having some specific need. Whether it is mass communication, correcting handwriting, or producing some form of data: computers are making our lives easier. I also found that people tend to upgrade technological devices frequently, only keeping the traits that proved to be the most helpful. This supports Darwin's theory of Evolution. I hope to receive more quality information through my survey to better prepare my research for Essay 4.

Darwinism Theory of Evolution applied to technology

My studies have proven to be more initially helpful than the survey itself. I have only had two people complete the survey which does not produce quality information. This being said, my research with an article comparing the darwinism theory of evolution has been really helpful in understanding the trends and reasons behind technology in the lives of society. The article explains that all parts of technology have been created to solve a problem. The history of technology is directly related to the discoveries that we have made in past decades. My survey studies are working to confirm that though we might not see tweeting as correcting a civil problem, it in fact does just this. After the survey is completed by multiple others, the information will become more helpful.
