Research Group Members

Summary

The topic of our survey is ;Singaporeans; Attitudes towards Mobile Phones.

Nowadays, mobile phones are becoming more and more popular and even irreplaceable. And they are becoming more powerful as well. Then, questions arose: how people think about them? Are mobile phones really important to them? What are the pros and cons of mobile phones? So as to have a clear idea of Singaporeans; attitude towards mobile phones, we conducted this survey.

In order to collect information, we went to several places including shopping centers, MRT stations, and school campuses, etc. Finally, we gathered all the information we need.

Through our hard work, we had several findings: for example, most Singaporeans owned a cell phone (94%), and the fact that most people agree with the using of shortcuts in SMS. From these findings we derived our conclusion that mobile phones are playing important roles in contemporary society, and it will definitely become more powerful in terms of functions and more important to people.
