For my essay, I have chosen to investigate the effects of mobile phones in today’s society. Due to this being a rather broad subject, with several different topics as possible research areas, I have had to try and be rather flexible and open minded when trying to research the material which I need for my essay.
I have used several different mediums to do my research. I have mainly chosen to use the internet as this is by far the fastest way of accessing the largest amount of information. I have also acquired copes of a few books and research papers to try and improve my knowledge of my research topic.
Seeing as I am dealing with, but not limited to, a topic which is connected far more with people under the age of 30 (people who grew up with the ‘digital revolution’), it would have been nice to cast a few surveys to try and gain the views and opinions of how mobile phones and mobile technology is important to them and how it’s changed their lives. I am not able to do this unfortunately, as logistical and time constraints prevail given the current circumstances. I am therefore relying on data which is readily available in published essays, books and other research material.

this is not a research methodology!!! For this you need to state how you are going to prove or disprove your hypothesis ( do you have one?) and the instruments you are going to use to do this ie questionnaire, focus group etc. You need to state why you will use this technique and need to back this up with references. What will your sample size be? Will you use open or closed questions? Is this qualitative research or quantitative research?
