Dissertation Help Needed!
Hi guys! So I really could use your help with my dissertation topic!! So if you could please answer this super short poll I have here below, I would really appreciate it.
So my vague topic of my dissertation is going to be about how there's a new era of Information Overload with the use of Smartphones and Social Networks. You know how in the early 2000 there was all this talk about Information Overload and how people couldn't handle all the information they had access to and so on and so on. Well, my hypothesis is that we are entering a new era of different type of Information Overload with the use of Smartphones and being constantly connected to the Internet. And specifically looking at Facebook and Twitter and how people use those on their phones.
So yeah, that's kinda my idea but it's still in it's labor stage and I'm trying to get a clearer view on what it is that I want to research and that's why I need your help because I know I have people on my friendslist who do use Facebook and Twitter on their phones so I'd like to get some idea of how you'd answer this poll.
And if you have anything further to say on this subject, please drop me a comment! I'd love to hear your views and ideas on this subject!
