Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Internet friends and the real world
Barmymoo:
Under sixteen, it's for ethical reasons (we would have to seek parental permission for interviewing any under-sixteens).
Veregoca, the point of the project isn't the data we produce but the actual research method. That includes identifying and researching possible subject areas and test-running them.
I might just do one of my other areas, it seems like internet people aren't fun to ask questions of.
Sox:
I swear, I actually got an A in reading comprehension once. Yeah, that makes much more sense. A lot of the folks who meet groups of people from the internet are probably into fringe culture. I find it insanely difficult to find people with similar interest without the use of the internet. I can only think of ONE person I've met without the internet that had similar interest to me. I'm sure that isn't true for everybody, but it's certainly going to be the case around here. The only other people I've known who've met people from the internet are lonely middle aged people who have trouble dating.
Verergoca:
Who ever said research is supposed to be fun?
Also, if the researchmethod is the important jazzaboodle, dont try to be the cool kid, just make the questionairre, go into the old-folks-house and ask them about how things used to be better back in the day.
Seriously, if you want to get serious responses, do not try the internet. (At least, not the kind of place where random answers come to screw up your data. Goatse is not a valid answer to "what is your opinion on the current state of wellfare, compared to the output of crocodilewool on greenland?"
Barmymoo:
Asking old people how it used to be wouldn't fit the topic criteria. Also I really would like to pass this course, that's why I'm putting time into it.
Man, I regret starting this thread now.
Verergoca:
YOU DIDNT EVEN TELL US THE TOPIC!
"a research project in Sociology" does concern old people!
