Research Proposal: Smart Technology and their Effect on our Social Lives?

  I wrote my research proposal on: Smart Technology and their Effect on our Social Lives? I took a interest in this topic, because it really does open my eyes when i go to a public setting whether its at the mall, movie theater, or restaurant and we see people on their phones more worried … Continue reading Research Proposal: Smart Technology and their Effect on our Social Lives?

Final Proposal: Technology and Mental Health

  My research proposal outlines a qualitative experiment to see how technology is affecting our lives in the past year. The test used age, gender, and race, as well as college experience. Through a survey and a follow up interview I gained knowledge on how people’s mental health is after using technology for a lot … Continue reading Final Proposal: Technology and Mental Health

Final Proposal! Needing a Centralized Vaccine Database

My research proposal is on quantitative research. I outline how hard it is to get your vaccine record and how easy it is to get a fake covid card. I justify how a centralized vaccine database would be great for everyone. I also use an example of another database that is used for opioid prescription … Continue reading Final Proposal!
