Survey Analysis: Continued

This post is a further analysis of the data.

Forms response chart. Question title: Do you know what Big data is?
. Number of responses: 21 responses.

The first question is important in that it shows the percentage of respondents who even know what Big data is, with only 57.1 per cent (12 people) answering in the affirmative. 23.8 % (5 people) are not sure and the rest have no idea what Big data is.

. Number of responses: 21 responses.

In a follow-up question, those who did not know what Big data was or were unsure most replied that they were not sure. However, interestingly one person who knows what Big data is answered that it is useless. And three people responded that Big data is useful, despite their lack of knowledge.

Forms response chart. Question title: Are you afraid of Big data?
. Number of responses: 21 responses.

This question is related to the next one, we can deduce whether people who know what Big data is are afraid of it or whether it is more people without knowledge of it who feel a sense of fear towards it.

Forms response chart. Question title: To what extent are you aware of what information is collected in Big data? 
. Number of responses: 21 responses.

The responses show that of the ten people who think they know what information is being collected to a degree of 4+, only five of them are concerned about Big data. This is interesting insofar as the data collected in Big data can have a huge impact on our lives, and only five people fear this. More people who have a low awareness of the information contained in Big data do not show concern at all.

Forms response chart. Question title: Do you think Big data is being used in the right way? 
. Number of responses: 21 responses.

This question was constructed in such a way as to draw conclusions as to whether people are aware of how Big data is used. And it is related to the next one. One person who is highly aware of what Big data is being used for thinks it is being used in the wrong way. Interestingly, as many as 5 people believe that Big data is used for legitimate purposes.

Forms response chart. Question title: To what extent are you aware of what Big data is used for?
. Number of responses: 21 responses.

The chart shows that 12 people are aware to a good degree of what Big data is used for. You can see a similarity here to the previous graph about awareness of what data is being collected.

Forms response chart. Question title: Do you think Big data can solve the problems of today's world?
. Number of responses: 21 responses.

Here we see that 42.9 % (9 people) believe that Big data can solve the problems of today's world. We can see a collision between the knowledge of Big data and the answer yes, because as many as 8 people who showed knowledge of Big data believe that it can fix the world's problems. Only 3 people who thought they had knowledge of Big data answered No.

Forms response chart. Question title: Do you think Big data has ever been used to gain your attention?
. Number of responses: 20 responses.

Big data can indeed be used to attract your attention on the web, it is assumed that every user of a survey uses the internet because the survey took place there. However, as the graph shows, most either do not know or believe that it was not used in this way. Only 7 people who are aware of Big data marked yes. 2 people who have little knowledge of the subject have pointed out that it was used in just such a way.

Forms response chart. Question title: Do you think Big data affects you in some way in your everyday life?
. Number of responses: 20 responses.

As many as 8 people believe that Big data does not affect them in their daily lives. Of these 8 people, 4 replied that they know what Big data is.

Forms response chart. Question title: Do you think Big data can put public safety at risk?
. Number of responses: 20 responses.

This question was expected to have collated and similar answers to the question 'Are you afraid of Big data?' however, the answers differ and here as many as 50 % of the respondents believe it can cause damage to public safety. The main purpose of the survey was to find out how many people were fully aware of what Big data was, and through analysis of the data it can be concluded that only five people showed enough knowledge to make their answers close to the truth. Worryingly, as many as 12 people thought they had a high level of understanding of the subject.

Forms response chart. Question title: On a scale of 1 to 10, how much would you rate the value of the data? 
. Number of responses: 20 responses.

 

The graph above shows that as many as 35% believe that date is one of the most valuable raw materials on earth.

 

Conclusions

It is difficult to infer collisions between the answers and gender or age, the choices were so different that it can be assumed that knowledge of Big data is similar among young and old, and the same applies to women and men. However, it can be inferred that the science of Big data is still shrouded in mystery. Which is astonishing to me because I would have expected the answers to be more similar. The main purpose of the survey was to find out how many people were fully aware of what Big data was, and through analysis of the data it can be concluded that only five people showed enough knowledge to make their answers close to the truth. Worryingly, as many as 12 people claim to have knowledge of Big data, but it can be concluded that they only think they do.
