Brief IT survey for my Comm 304 class...

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LZBBWC8

I would be very pleased if you guys could take 30 seconds to answer 4 simple questions, so that I can get an A on my class presentation. Have a good week!

Thank you very much for taking the time to give me this feedback, Mark! I know that your time is very valuable, so honestly that means a lot. This survey was really geared towards the general public with little to no experience or knowledge of programming. I am required to give a 5 minute speech in my Business Comm 304 class and the only thing I could come up with was talking about programming and how it affects our daily lives, seeing as I have no real hobbies these days outside of my usual day job and school work. I could have chosen to talk about video games, seeing as I spend nearly as much time playing your game as I do my actual school work, but I try to keep a low profile on my video gaming habits. But anyways, my classmates are comprised mostly of people with little to no knowledge or experience in coding, so that's what I'm working with. Perhaps I should be more specific about that in my topic title?

I did your survey to help you with the grade but I see what Mark was talking about. Question no. 3 had no good answer. I answered it anyway pretending to be the general public. :)

I didn't answer 3 and 4 because the question design is shit.

Answered all since i have no inclination toward programming.

how is that? As a total ignorant into programing I did nit find any bad design in those questions

Yea, I agree with scrotie here.

Survey tip, keep the answers to simple yes or no. Adding things like "yes, (opinion)" muddies the waters and makes it harder to get good results.

This is really the demographic of people that I was aiming for. My speech is being presented to a class of about 22 people, most of which have no knowledge or background in programming or IT, and therefore the survey demographic is representative of such. The idea is that the majority of people are affluent with technology, but no little to nothing of programming and what goes on behind the scenes. The idea of my speech is to present the idea that programming is not some sort of black magic, but is very much available to the general public (if you don't believe that, then go onto Youtube, search for just about anything programming related, and you'll get an idea of just how much people share and are willing to share their knowledge. The other idea behind my presentation is that programming is going to become even more prevalent in our daily lives with the advent of autonomous vehicles (coming to a town near you courtesy of Google, Uber, Ford, Volvo, and many other companies)(legislation is being passed as we speak to determine how such technology will be regulated by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). This survey was not geared towards people who are already affluent in programming and are very much familiar with its intricacies and availability. But thanks again for the input (and for pretending to be ignoramus and participating nonetheless). Huge help guys. Thank you very much!
