Telecommunication survey reflection

How does PC gaming effect our lifes today?

Part 1:

At the start of this assessment our group started to brainstorm ideas for our main question,

considering we like to play PC games we all decided to go with that theme. After about 5 minutes we

came up with the topic question How does PC gaming effect our lifes today? I think that this is a

good question because we can explore the pros and cons of PC gaming, especially if some of the

people did not have any interest in the matter. Our main target was year 8, from 8A to 8E, we all

choose this target because we wanted to relate the answers to us because we all game and we thought

that it would be very interesting to find out what other peoples thoughts where. We thought about

the most important questions to get a clear response so we added some questions like What class are

you in? and What is your gender?, these are good to ask because then we can make a distinctive

connection between the classes and the gender to PC gaming.

In most of our questions we had an other choice because we cant list everything, this helped us

know if our questions where effective or not, we only got a few other ticked boxes so we thought

we had done quite well. If I could change anything that we did it would be just tweaking a few

questions because not everyone took the time to fill out some of the text box options, we could have

listed some common answers that people might answer and THEN put a little textbox in case people

had other ideas and opinions about the question. When we sent out the e-mail, we accidently sent it

to a few teachers, this was not a very smart move as the survey was only meant to be for the whole of

year 8 but luckily the teachers spotted it before we did. When we looked over the results of our

survey, a few people did not answer some questions that had endless answers and they also had an

other option, I think we do not need to change the question because no matter what your opinion is

on it you could still answer, that problem is due to the laziness of a few of the people who answered.

Part 2:

Out of all the people who answered the survey, most where from 8A, and there where not even any

from 8C. about About 80% of the people who answered the survey where from 8A because we all

tried our best to answer everyones survey too. On top of that 32 people altogether have answered the

survey and 12 of them where male, this means that 19 females answered the survey witch is almost

70% (69.5)! This tells us that the majority of the answers are females responses, this is good for

determining who plays PC games. Many people thought that it is bad to play PC games because your

eyes, neck, and hands hurt after a while due to constant staring at the screen. People also said that

they normally go online for about 30-60 minutes yet others go on for 4+ and even no time at all, this

result doubled for weekend time at a total of 1-2 hours too. These where our results for how much

people spend on PC gaming:

A)

B)

People from the survey answered that the more time you spend playing games, the less time is spent

doing homework, going outside, and physically talking to friends and family. Most of the people

thought that we should still play PC games, just dont over do it so it effects your daily life.

C)

With PC gaming, most people dont want to sit around all day so some people wanted it to be more

active like say for instance the Wii witch is a very engaging active device. I also think that it will theway people communicate and judge each other. People who dont play games might be cornered fo to

separated for the others who do. This year I found a new best friend, I met him online playing one

game I bought over the holidays. I think that PC gaming and even social networking will change the

way people communicate to one another and how friendships are made and lost. I also think that

more e-learning schools may emerge throughout the years as technology gets more and more

advanced and people will be enrolled in them and not schools like NIST and almost all other places.

Overall I think that PC gaming a good way to get together and meet new people who are all the way

across the world, just dont let it take over your life! ;]
