Off topic - technology use survey

[Steve G.]

No, google spreadsheet with the questions and possible answers, that I can
use.

Example: Where do you browse the internet (select all that apply):
1. home
2. work
3. public places (school, library)
4. Internet cafe
5. on the road using my smart phone

It is better to use a survey that has been validated - pilot tested to make
sure it is not confusing or gives the right information. For example, my
question does not differentiate between frequent and rare use, or duration.
People may be confused by including cell phone browsing with PC browsing.
They may browse in a coffee shop (public place) and mark it Internet cafe.
Hence my desire to use a standard questionnaire.

Also, sometimes these surveys include instructions on combining the results
of multiple questions (that deal with the same topic).

Hope this answers your question.
