Research Methodology

Mobile phones may be quite a new technology but we can see that they have made a massive impact on society since their introducion in the 1980's. Now they may have only recently become very common items for everyone to have but different people do still have considerably different views on them, and whether they actually improve safety and security or hinder it. Some people see mobile phones as improving safety and security but other people argue that mobile phones are actually the cause for reducing safety and security.

Due to time constraints I will not be producing a questionaire and gathering primary source information. Although this would have been preferable in gathering the viewpoints of a large cross section of society, there is enough research in the same area from newspapers, journals and books that I will be able to use in my essay.

  1. So what kind of questionnaire - will you be gathering qualitative or quantitative data? Will you use open or closed questions? Is this the correct research tool to be using, and what will your sample size be???
