I have amended my research methodology after feedback from Jo (and the fact that it was all in first person!)
The purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of mobile phones on young people in today’s society. Due to the topic in question being a rather broad area to investigate it has been necessary to collect a large amount of material from a variety of different sources in order to be able to answer the question properly.
The internet and several different published papers/books have been the main sources of information for this essay. Ideally, it would have been an advantage to collect primary qualitative and quantitative data to work with from issuing a questionnaire to a sample of young people under the age of 30 (people who grew up in the “digital revolution”. A sample of 100 students from the local area would have been sufficient for the purpose of this research. However, due to time constraints it has not been possible to collect primary data from the use of a questionnaire. For this reason all research which has been presented and used in this paper has been from third party sources collected from a variety of different mediums such as books, websites (of academic papers), online news articles and printed journals.
To summarise, the main points which will be covered in this paper are:
-The positive and negative effects of mobile communications technology on young people
-The impact that mobile phones have had on young people
-The effect that mobile phones have had on communication/relationships between parent and child
From the use of a mixture of different research conducted by different authors in different countries, it is hoped that this paper will sufficiently answer the original question in an unbiased, substantive manner.
