Essay #4 Proposal
I plan to research how dependent young adults are on
their cell pones apposed to how older adults were at their age. I realize that
I will need to touch up my thesis. I plan to interview young adults my age as
well as some older adults. I will compare and contrast the data I find to put
together a well throughout reach paper.
I chose this topic because I wanted
to research something that I found interesting. I would like to see the data I
collect because I wonder is I personally am to dependent on my cellphone. I
have come to realize that if it’s not in my hand it is constantly in reaching
distance. I wonder how many other young adults are facing the same “addiction.”
I find myself wondering what young adults did before cellphones. It is
mind-blowing to me that at one point in time cellphones did not exist, or they
were used strictly for phone calls. Now a days cellphones are used for so much
more than just calling, all social media is assessable twenty four hours a day.
The key topics that I plan to researcher
are things such as when cellphones, texting, and smart phones originated, what
types of communication was primarily used before cellphones. I hope to
interview five young adults and five older adults. I want to ask them a variety
of question. I will ask the young adults questions such as how often a day they
are on their phones, and what they use it for mainly. I will ask the older
adults to think back to their teenage years and answer the questions as if they
were that age. I want to compare the time difference.
