For my particular research question I looked at how upgrading one’s phone effected respondents use of the internet, and in turn, mobile apps. The question came from a comment that Marissa made when we were initially in a group of six, that when she had a flip phone she did not go on the internet as much even though it had the capability and that it was not until she received a Blackberry that she more frequently used the internet on her phone. From my section of the survey I found that majority of the respondents felt the same. Many of the respondents felt the need to upgrade their phone so that they could have constant access to email and social networking sites. Furthermore, all my questions were significantly significant to each other. More than 60% of all the respondents who answered the question “since your update, how often do you use the internet?” answered very often. In addition a little over 60% of the respondents stated that after they received their upgrade on their phone (to a Smartphone) they were more inclined to use the internet. Overall, I found that upgrades have are correlated to the amount of time that students spend on the internet and how much they use mobile apps.
