Read this article discussing the amount of time that people of various ages and education levels report spending on different technologies. Ask at least 12 of your adult friends and family members the same survey question. (The more people you ask, the better.)

How do your survey results compare with the results in the article? What are some possible reasons your results might be different? When comparing the results, be sure to take into account the margin of error for the survey discussed in the article.

My survey results overall varied quite a bit from the results in the article. Many of my survey respondents reported higher estimates than what was found in the article, especially in regards to the time spent on television. This may have been due to a response bias, as participants may have been overestimating the amount of leisure time activities they undertake. Additionally, the demographics of my survey respondents may have been different from that of the article - for example, my survey respondents were primarily from the United States
