Research Ideas

I’m trying to think of a study I can carry out as part of my coursework.  So far I’ve considered doing one on the bus I travel in to work on.  I may record the number of people whom use a mobile device, and their sex, and whether they:

Talk on the phone, and if so, do they talk loudly

Use the phone for texting, or online data access

I still have yet to research whether any comparitive studies have been carried out, and when.  My expectation is that if there is, we may see a correlation towards people using their mobile device in more passive ways (ie texting and web access).
