Welcome to the "Internet-Based Services" Survey.
Note: You must be at least 13 years of age to participate in this study!
Thank you for your interest in taking part in this study.
This purpose of this study is to collect demographic data and other information from those individuals who make use of internet-based services such as e-mail, chat, instant messaging, and internet dating sites.
ALL information collected will be kept strictly confidential. Any information you provide will NOT be shared with any other individuals, organizations, or agencies. You will NOT be asked for personal information such as your real name, address, phone number or SSN.
The information gathered is part of a personal research project that I am conducting. The goal of the research is to determine who (in a general sense) is using the internet for these services and why.
Since this is a personal project, I wish I could offer some sort of compensation for your time, but I cannot. I can only offer my thanks and appreciation for your participation. The estimated time to complete the survey is 10 minutes, although it could take longer if you choose to answer the open-ended questions in great detail.
